Gastric, vomiting,headache in pregnancy
Hi Doctor,
My wife takes iron supplements as shes in the 6th month of pregnancy. The medicine she takes is : "livogen -xt "( pic attached)
she gets severe gastric , vomiting and headache when she takes it just after breakfast.
After 1 hour of breakfast she vomits sometimes but headache and gastric problem is sure to happen.
Looking at her condition and the absorption of medicine for best results ,what should be the right time to take this medicine to avoid vomiting, gastric & headache problem.
Thanks

Take iron tablets between meals. Don't take it with milk. If still not tolerated, take Richar CR tablet instead.

Iron should be taken in between 2 meals.
It should not be taken with food, tea and with calcium supplements.
If she is not tolerating this tablet, ask your doctor to change the tablet.
