A member asked:

Irons a "tad" low always tired, dr says to take multi vitamin and iron i have anxiety and scared too even take multivitamin, is it safe!?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, safe: Over the counter multivitamin and iron pills are safe. Take iron pills with food. If you get constipated with iron, take a fiber laxative like metamucil.
