I was recently prescribed Ferrous Gluc 324mg Tablets for iron deficiency anemia. I've been taking them for about a month now, and while I've noticed some improvements in my energy levels, I've also experienced some unpleasant side effects. I was hoping to connect with others who have taken this medication to see if our experiences align. The most notable side effects for me have been stomach pain and constipation, but I haven't experienced any of the more severe symptoms listed. Has anyone else had similar issues, or should I be concerned? Also curious to know how long it typically takes to see significant improvements in iron levels.

I take Ferrous Gluc and haven't had any issues so far. I think it's important to take them with food to avoid stomach upset.

I've been on Ferrous Gluc for a few months now and definitely struggled with constipation at first. Drinking lots of water and adding more fiber to my diet helped a ton. Stick with it; your body will adjust!

I switched to liquid iron supplements and haven't looked back. No more stomach issues, and my iron levels are back to normal. Might be worth considering if the tablets are too harsh.

I had to stop taking these because of the vomiting. Maybe it was because I took them on an empty stomach? Hard to say, but it was miserable.

I noticed my stool changed color to green. Is that normal? It's a bit unsettling.

I take Ferrous Gluc with a glass of orange juice, it helps with absorption and reduces any stomach pain.

Change in stool color is normal with iron supplements. It's just the iron making its way through your system. Don't worry about it unless you have other symptoms.

I feel like the side effects are worth it. I was so exhausted before starting these, and now I have so much more energy.
