My doc prescribed livogen but i forgot to ask whether to take it morning or night, and before or after khana. Sometimes it upsets my stomach thoda. How do u all take it?
Oh, Livogen is for iron! I took it post-lunch as prescribed because empty stomach was making me feel nauseous. Please check with your doctor for your timing.
Usually doctors prescribe iron tablets like Livogen from the second trimester onwards. Just make sure not to take it with milk or tea as it blocks absorption.
Please do not start Livogen or any iron supplement on your own. Always ask your gynac first as they will check your blood reports and prescribe the exact time.
I can only share my personal experience. I was told to take it with orange juice for better iron absorption, but please check with your medical team for your dosage.
My doctor started my Livogen in the second trimester because my iron levels were a bit low. Does anyone else get dark stools after taking it? It's making me a bit anxious.
