Iron tablets

[Privategal]

I am anaemic and have started taking iron tablets. However I think I may be taking them at the wrong time so when is the best time - am taking them 1 hour before brekkie and 2 hours after dinner ... is that right??

Advice please

I'm anaemic as well. I have thalassemia minor so my haemoglobin is pretty low. Dtake Feroglobin tablets, but I'm having problem as well figuring out if I'm taking the right amount. I'm pretty sure the doctor told me to take them twice a day, but on the box, it says once a day only! So... I'm a bit confused.

But what I do know, you're supposed to take these tablets with your main meal, and not together with calcium tablets. Maybe it's the same for all iron tablets? Sorry can't be of much help.

I personally take mine in the morning with Activia yogurt and some apple juice for breakfast. For me this prevents the wonderful side effect of constipation.
