I too was prescribed iron supplements and to take a good multi-vitamin, you may want to consider a multi-vitamin without iron as your doctor has prescribed iron, as iron's side effect is constipation you don't want to overdo the iron intake, it's up to you the multi-vitamin to take as long as it's a good one -- personally I take Simply One Women by Super nutrition, on the bottle's cap is "iron fee"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
A lot of people have a hard time assimilating iron pills, but a better source of Iron that is much easier for the body to absorbe is Black Strap Molassis, it can be found at any health food store!. I took it when I was low on iron when I was pregnant, then I took a tablespoon a day!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, that is extremely low!. Pills should be taken as directed by a physician!. But with levels as low as yours, did your doc suggest B12 injections!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
take the vitamin in the morning with your breakfast, then take the iron pill at night with dinner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
