Talk to your Dr.: Iron Pills are notoriously tough on the digestive/ intestinal system. Side effects include: constipation, diarrhea; nausea, vomiting, heartburn; stomach pain, upset stomach; black or dark-colored stools or urine; temporary staining of the teeth; headache; or unusual or unpleasant taste in your mouth. Talk to your prescribing Dr for follow up. They may want you to start at a lower dose and increase

GI upset: Iron can and often does cause gastrointestinal upset. It may be mitigated somewhat by taking the pill with food. You can also switch to another form of iron such as Bifera which is better absorbed and may cause less side effects. Check with your doctor.
