A member asked:
Can ferrous fumarate iron pills cause severe legs and ankles pitting edema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would not assume a commonly used iron supplement would trigger the symptom you describe. You need to contact your doc and have an evaluation. There are potentially life threatening causes of this symptom including some that can respond quickly to treatment.
