Hii.. Iron tablet is Commonly associated with nausea & indigestion . Also oral iron preparations only 20 % absorb in normal person & poorly benificial in person with indigestion. So if you have above issue .. go for Injectable iron preparation…You have 2 injectable option for that
1) Inj Iron Sucrose —- associated with allergic reactions & need 5 day hospital admission & daily slow dosing for 5 day
2) Inj FCM … need 2 dose once weekly.
After that take Iron tab for 3-4 month in empty stomach with vitamin C .
