I'm taking loestrin 24 Fe....?!
Question: So I'm taking loestrin 24 Fe, and I also started taking one a day womens pills once a day. I take the birth control at 12 PM and the birth control at around 12 AM at night (I go to bed late) before going to sleep.
I know that Fe means iron- and the once a day womens says it has 18% of recommended iron-
can i take the multivitamin once a day or is that unhealthy because of all the iron I get from the birth control? Should I take the vitamin like only 2-3 times a week? what is healthy?
thank you

you were obviously prescribed the FE version b/c you are iron deficient...there is not enough iron in the multivitamin combined with the pill to "overdose" and a once a day multivitamin is made so be taken every day to work properly...if in a couple of weeks you notice you feel different, go to the dr so they can do a blood test....but if i were you i wouldn't think twice about doing what you are doing :)
