Iron Pills Make me Throw up!

[Ale0415]

So Ever since ive been taking my iron pills I throw them up on most days, I cant take them with water or apple juice. The doctor told me to drink them with orange juice..
.they also told me to take them on an empty stomach
But, thats just worst considering I have to take 2 iron pills now since I came low on iron.
Im thinking about taking them at night .

Help ...

That's your best bet to take them at night.

I had severely low iron with all my pregnancies and the iron pill did the same to me. I take them after breakfast and/or before bed. Sure they tell you to take them on empty tummy but if u cant keep them down they dont do any good. I got used to them each time by having a breakfast sandwich and oj then took it.

There *are* iron shots, but man do they give you a huge black-looking bruise on your butt for a while.  Talk to your doc and see if they can recommend another iron product, maybe even a tonic like Geritol?

There's also liquid iron? Heard it doesn't taste thatttt bad lol

I cant take iron either. With each pg I have tried but get sick. My dr told me to simply take 2 flinstones vitamins daily and i get an iron shot if i drop low.

Have you tried the Novo-ferrogluc Elemental Iron pills. They have no taste and have been the only thing I could take to keep my iron level normal.
