You need not stop it at all. You can take your oral dose in the evening and go for Iron Infusion next morning.

Usually, oral iron supplements are stopped a few days to a week before the scheduled iron infusion. Here’s why: 1. Avoid Overload: Continuing oral iron while receiving intravenous (IV) iron can increase the risk of iron overload, which can be harmful. 2. Assess Response: Stopping oral iron helps to accurately assess the patient’s response to the iron infusion without the interference of oral iron supplements. 3. Side Effects: Oral iron supplements can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation, which can be avoided during the infusion period.
