I'm about to start my third pack of pills. I was wondering if anyone else felt nauseous while on the iron pills? ## I get nausea, every time I take iron pills. And that is three months per year. To avoid this problem, I normally take my iron pills right before I go to bed, this way, I don’t feel anything! I hope this will help. ## It's normal with iron pills. They are tough on the stomach. Best to take them with food or milk. If that doesn't help then I think it's OK to coat your stomach with Pepto first.

It is even worse, if you have the iron infusions, because those side ef...

It's an iron supplement and, while this is essential to the health of you and your baby, after taking it, you may experience some nausea, constipation and dark stool.

These pills have been perscribed through the VA Clinic. My Family Physician says that he has had better results using the Poly Iron 150 than the Ferrous Sulfate. My question then is: If I order the Poly Iron tablets....at what dosage am I going to take them. Now taking 975 mg of ferrous sulfate and the poly iron is 150 mg. Would I take the same dosage of the Poly Iron to do any good? ## Hi Robert, How many tablets of Ferrous sulfate are you currently taking in order to reach 975mg? I think the maximum available dosage of this medication is 325mg, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Poly Iron (Polysaccharide-Iron Complex) may ...
