Prescription iron supplement for anemia?

Question

My dr gave me a sample of a prescription iron supplement for anemia and it has very specific instructions on use, missed doses, etc just like a birth control pill. Is there any reason an over the counter iron supplement won’t do just as good?

Answer

I take floradix to up my iron. it's like a natural supplement so it doesn't mess with bowels or anything. You can order online.

Answer

Iron competes for absorption with other nutrients so that’s why you are given specifics instructions. They are giving you a highly absorbable (or bioavailable) form and they want you to absorb as much as you can. Trust the docs and do your best to follow the instructions.

Answer

Over the counter isn’t a high enough dosage, and prescription often has a gentle laxative added so it’s easier on your tummy
