I believe they do, because both ways the iron is in your system!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm sure they would!. Doesn't matter the route of the medication, the same side effects will occur!. Best thing to do is find a mild stool softener and start taking that when you start getting the iron!. That way they work in unison!. Ask your doctor, he may be able to prescribe something that won't be so hard on your system!. OTC drugs can be harsh!.!.!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yeah!. They do!. Yu should up your water count and your vegetables intake if you are also taking iron!. You may also need a teaspoon of mineral oil to keep things moving!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
