Some patients get vomiting or gastrointestinal upset after oral iron pills. This is one of the side effects.
Please consult your Gynaecologist for alternative treatment.

Take livogen after 12 weeks. For now concentrate on having a good diet include iron rich foods. Take the help of a dietician if needed.
