You can ask for a liquid formulation of the prescription. Just be aware that liquid iron will stain your teeth so be careful when taking it!
Ask your doc if you can try the lucky iron fish. Might help!
I got the gummies from my local grocery store! My doctor told me any over the counter iron supplements would work though. I don't know if you need a higher amount.
@El how’s the taste 😩
@Cheyenne I think I do 😭
@Jenny thank you :)
@Mary Kathrine oh wow, did not know that part!!
Hm it does have a berry taste but the after taste is still medicine like. It’s not bad. I drink it with orange juice every morning.
@El okay do you mix it in or first drink the iron then the juice ?
I don’t mix it. Just use the juice as a chaser I guess 🤭 it’s just a tablespoon a day. You can mix it in stuff though.
Mixing it with juice or drinking it with a straw can help with the staining issue too!
@El oh okay bet bet 😅
@Mary Kathrine alright sounds good 😌
Were y’all instructed to take iron w food or on empty stomach?

@Rachel I read that it's better on an empty stomach because your body absorbs more of it. But it makes me nauseous so I take it after I eat. You just are supposed to wait an hour and a half before or after eating milk products because that makes it not absorb as well
Yes I got very small ones from rite aid toay 65mg
