My doctor says after a slight drop in iron that i should take a multi vitamin and a 300 mg iron pill.i'm scared too take the multi vitamin nd iron :(?

No need: No need to take the iron pill for just a slight drop. Just eat lots of iron rich vegetables such as red cabbage and beets and take vitamin c. Vitamin c will increase natural absorption of iron.
