Q: can i take ferrous fumarate iron pills having acute bronchitis? is it safe?

: Iron supplements can interfere with the absorption of many medications. If you're taking antibiotics for your bronchial infection, be sure to take your iron at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after your antibiotic dose.
