A member asked:
Doctor said i have anemia, i already take prenatals with iron in them. if i buy some iron pills and take the prenatals & the iron will it be too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Taking oral iron pills with pre-natal vitamins will not give you too much iron. If iron pills cause constipation, take a fiber laxative. Take iron pills with meals.
