I've been prescribed Ferate 240mg (27 Elemental) Tabs to treat my anemia. The doctor said it's an iron supplement that will help increase my iron levels and improve my blood oxygenation. I'm a bit worried about the side effects, especially the urgent ones. Has anyone else taken this? What were your experiences? I'm curious about people's experiences with the side effects, especially the gastrointestinal ones. Did anyone notice a change in stool color to green? Did you experience any of the nasty side effects that warrant a trip to the ER? What was that like? How long did the side effects last? How did your doctor help you manage them? Did anyone have reactions like hives, rash, or itching? Any tips on managing the more minor symptoms like constipation or stomach cramps? Thanks!
