I had a prescription for iron and this is the exact medicine my pharmacy was charging me for. I paid $11 a month for 30 pills until the pharmacy tech gave me the tip to check the manufacturer and the over the counter price! Amazon's value is amazing compared to the prescription price I was paying
Read More...Couldn't figure out why I had an endless cough, and then I remembered another guy I knew who took Lisinopril said he quit taking the medication because of the stupid cough. Looked it up and a whole lot of people said take honey, which did nothing, but tasted really good, and then there were those who swore by using an iron supplement. So I looked for the best deal in iron supplements and this was it. It was cheap enough so that when it failed I wouldn't mind a whole lot. Gadzooks the stuff actually worked. If I don't bother taking it after about three days I notice myself coughing and take one tablet and a few hours later I'm doing fine. Really strange, but whatever works
Read More...My doctor advised me to take an iron supplement. I bought the ferrous sulfate iron pills vs. the ferrous gluconate based on the research I did. Apparently, more of the ferrous sulfate is absorbed quicker into the body than the ferrous gluconate. However, one of the side effects of the ferrous sulfate is constipation, and this definitely was/is a problem for me! Hopefully, this supplement will be worth it's side effects when I have my follow up bloodwork done in the near future
Read More...I've been iron-deficient anemic most of my life and I hate taking iron in any form because of the way it makes me feel. But when told by my doctor I had to start taking iron or get iron infusions, I had to find something that didn't make me feel awful. He suggested ferrous sulfate and I have to take one of these pills each day. I was fully expecting stomach upset but to my amazement, I really didn't get it. There have been two times where I didn't take it with enough food and I had nausea and a headache and had to take a nausea pill but it was only those two times. I've been taking them for about 6 weeks. It's still a few months before I get my iron levels tested again but I can definitely tell it's starting to work as my energy level has increased significantly. Full disclosure though, the constipation side effects are going to be there with any iron supplement. I have to take something to help with that
Read More...I donate blood regularly and need to replace the iron I have lost by frequently donating blood. I take one pill every other day for 50 days after I donate blood. This has enabled me to continue to be eligible to donate blood often. These pills should last me over 2 years! Pills are quite small and easy to swallow
Read More...My doctor asked that I take iron tabs prior to an upcoming surgery last year so I purchased a bottle at our local pharmacy. Then I thought, I'm getting a little older and could probably use the extra iron in my diet so when I ran out, I looked here on Amazon for a supply. They come in a 3 pack and you can beat the price. They look the same as the pharmacy brand. I don't have any side effects and will continue to take them
Read More...After suddenly going anemic, my doctor wanted me to start taking iron pills. I've only taken these for a few days and I can already tell the difference. I'm not ready for bed at 5pm! After researching I decided on ordering these as they are the same price as the local pharmacy charges for 1 bottle when they actually have them. I'd have given a five star rating but my one day prime took longer than one day which normally not a big deal but definitely was as I needed these desperately
Read More...This is the only iron supplement I've used, that's worked, for a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. My doctor recommended taking one every other day. It's worked well and definitely it's competitively priced. No taste. No after taste or lingering belching. I understand iron can be constipating. I haven't had even a bit of bowel or stomach upset, either
Read More...I was a bit worried about all the side effects I was warned about with taking iron supplements. But my doctor has informed me I need to take them because I am very low on iron. I've been taking them long enough now to know that I have not had any problem with stomach upset or nausea, no constipation, no after taste, no problems at all. I'm taking them every other day, and with vitamin C for better absorption-per doctor's orders. My hair has been falling out and apparently it's due to very low iron levels. Everything else checked out fine. This was a good deal, although I'm not that comfortable with the red dye, I'm taking it anyway. I decided I would have no problem eating some skittles everyday, and they are loaded with dye as well, lol
