The nurse just called me, have you heard of the pill called Slow FE Iron? They got my blood test results back and says I am anemic. My hemoglobin is low, and get more pills cons of iron as Fe Slow? Has anyone ensure that any person or this or have any suggestions? Btw, I "m 13 weeks pregnant and just now taking the pill before the birth, because I did not know all this time.
I have before .... Slow Fe From what I remember is a time released iron pill and has not been so strict on my stomach the way some iron tablets are others. What I would like to keep in mind is that: vitamin C promotes iron absorption - to drink orange juice and you can take a prenatal vitamin steady but slow, with Fe does not take calcium with . Take it separately. I do not know how, but it will prevent sorption of the other.
Yes, I heard him and followed him. iron supplements usually tend to make people constipated, but slow-Fe has the same amount of softener in it to help. It's 100 times better than ordinary iron, it can be more expensive, but if you're like me I'd rather pay a few dollars more and not be painfully constipated. Good luck
They told me exactly the same thing. I just bought the iron regularly mark. Slow Fe is just a name brand and more expensive. The way I see it is if you get the extra iron you need and the baby, who cares what brand you purchase.
It took several years as a teenager.its been around a loooooong time! Yes, can make u constipated-Colace will be your best friend.for the good of the child, u really need the iron. U will feel better, too as u recall Colace!
Yes I took Fe slow before. they were at Walmart, a little expensive, but they work.
you should take Colace with it. It is a stool softener. I had to take iron and can u really constipated! I would take a few yourself! GOOD LUCK HUN !!!!!!!
