A member asked:
My periods are quite heavy and sometimes my iron is low, is it a good idea to take an iron tablet while on my period to prevent this
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the periods are: Predictably heavy and you know you are tending toward iron deficiency it would be better to take a low dose all the time.
