A member asked:

Heavy periods and having thalassemia minor i am on a maintenace dose of ferrous fumarate 210mg a day.started 20mg omeprazole am & pm interactions?pharmacist said take omeprazole 20min before food and iron 10 mins after food for best absorbtion,true?

The advice by the pharmacist is appropriate. Iron may irritate the stomach and taking it after food would help. If you get constipation from iron, take fiber laxative and drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
