A member asked:
I took 2 iron pills containing 65mg with a total of 325 ferrous sulfate i am scare i overdose myself

No problem: Two 65 mg pills, a standard size, will enter 130 mg so how did you get up to 325? More pills? Anyway your GI tract and body will easily deal with this and not cause anything but perhaps a darkening of your poop.
