A member asked:

Can i take 65 mg iron pill three times a day?... i recently lost a lot of blood and my rbc level and hgb level are very low rite now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: For iron deficiency/ dietary supplement its fine to take 65 mg elemental iron 2 to 3 times daily. Remember your doctor will be the best to counsel/dose this for you so please keep your appointments for monitoring/continuous care. Take iron with orange for better absorption/ with food to reduce abdominal discomfort. Common side effects include, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, dark stools. Take care.
