I started taking half of a 35mg(so 17.5mg) iron supplement with my prenatal everyday(it has the regular amount of iron 27mg).But I m not sure I m taking enough or to little the doctor I m seeing just told me over the phone to take an over the counter iron supplement 3-4 times a week. I m really nervous this is my first baby and the pharmacist i seen said it was weird for them not to tell me more specific instructions being that you can have too much iron which can be just as bad for you and baby. I go to the doctors again on March 16th. What s your guys opinion am I taking too much? Too little? Idk what to do !
HELLO user, according to current who recommendation it is 100 mg per day.previously it was 60 mg per day.please consult your gynecologist to increase your dose.thanks.
