My Hb came little low and doctor mentioned iron, but the strip says ferrous sulphate and I got scared reading online. I already feel nausea with tablets sometimes. Did anyone take this in pregnancy without issues?
It's safe but ngl it upset my tummy when i had bad nausea. Taking it after food and not empty stomach helped a lot. If it really troubles u, ask doc to adjust, dont just stop it.
Iron tablets are normal in pregnancy, my mother also took them in her time. Eat enough green veg and dates along with it. But the brand and dose, follow what ur doctor gave.
Yes iron tablets like ferrous sulphate are routinely given in pregnancy, i took them both times. They can cause constipation or dark stools, so drink water and eat fiber. Take as ur doc prescribed.
My gynac said ferrous sulphate is standard for preventing anemia and very safe. She told me to take it with vit C like nimbu paani for better absorption and avoid having it with milk or tea. Worked well for me.
Totally safe, just space it away from ur calcium tablet and from chai. I kept mine for after dinner so the dark poop and slight queasiness didnt bother my workday. Follow ur prescribed dose.
