Ferrous sulfate help!!

What can I take for anemia. Have been on ferrous sulfate for through pregnancy but it's not working. What else can I take? Am tired of being so tired, weak and shaking. Triage is not taking it seriously and am finding hard to take care of my baby this way

Anyone with any good iron tablets?

Check with your doctor if the dose is enough - and see if you can supplement with Spartone

Apparently if you take with fresh orange juice, it helps your body absorb it quicker. I’m suffering too. My bloods aren’t really improving after loosing 1ltr during C-section. I’ve had mine increased and rechecking again in a month x

I have raised it up with them, they said keep taking it. I have been taken it for 5months and it has not increased. Its 200mg

How many times a day are you taking it? Because I know guidelines changed recently to once? Crazy! I just bought it myself of the online pharmacy and and took 3 times daily. My Hb went from 106 to 118 and ferritin was 24 but went to 25. In my last pregnancy my Hb was 74 & ferritin was only 7 😖

I take spatone and did throughout pregnancy. Blew my anaemia out of the water. If you get the one with vitamin c you don’t need to take anything else either
