Hello, I found out that I'm very slightly anaemic and my midwife prescribed me iron pills, ferrous fumarate 210mg. Since Ive taken them I was sick, vomiting and feeling unwell, I thought I caught a bug, but I realised the sickness only started after taking a pill, so I don't think its a co-incidence now! I checked the other ingredients of the pills and saw they had sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) which is carcinogenic and liquid paraffin! No wonder I was sick!
I have iron / vit c pills from chemist, but the amount of iron is only 14mg, and vit c 80mg. So I took 4 of them last night, and another 4 today, but not sure if the iron is an adequate amount to address my deficiency?
I think its a bank holiday tomorrow? So i'm guessing the midwife will be off, not sure how to report the bad effects and whats the alternatives that they'll offer I wonder?
