Question about Ferro-Sequels

I have been extremely tired lately even with a full nights rest. I am taking 2 flintstone vitamins a day and my b-12 sublingual once a week. I was once told that my blood was low and that i should take Ferro-Sequels. I was wondering if anyone else is on them and do they really help? Do they cause you gastric upset? Your help would be really appreciated.    — cmontoya324 (posted on August 19, 2003)

I believe you will be taking iron. I take somthing similar under a different name with no adverse problems. I understand that some people do get constipated. If you have low Iron, you should be more lively after a few weeks of the iron supplements. Don't take Iron and Calcium together, the Calcium blocks iron absobrtion.

Anything that starts with ferrous (like Ferrous sulfate) is not absorbed by rny. We need carbonyl iron.
