Stomach Ache after Iron Supplements

2019-08-26 13:54:16
I was prescribed Iron supplements for 21 days after showing signs of Iron Deficiency Anaemia in a recent blood report. But I started having stomach ache after around 1 hr after consumption of the tablet. What could be the cause of this? To confirm, I stopped taking it for a day and I had no such problems. What could be the possible cause of this?

Iron tablets cause such problems many times. Medicines need to be changed. Now better Alternative s are available.
