Question:
iron supplement

I am two years post-op and my yearly lab tests just came back and I am anemic. My hemoglobin was at 8. I was taking 150mg elemental iron twice a day from vitalady. Now my doctor has prescribed Chromagen Forte liquid capsules. Each brown soft gelatin capsule contains: ferrous fumarate USP, 460 mg (151 mg elemental iron), ascorbic acid USP, 60 mg, folic acid USP, 1 mg, cyanocobalamin USP, 10 mcg. Is this a good iron to take? Will it help me?    — toni2marie (posted on June 25, 2003)

My doctor prescribes Icar C plus and has had much sucess with her patients. It has extra iron that helps a lot for menastrating women. I'm sure if your doctor prescribes it, he/she thinks it will help. Good luck and I hope you feel better.
