I was prescribed this medicine 5 years ago by my GYN. I had low iron and was also losing a lot of blood during the monthly cycle. I felt very tired and weak. This is the only thing that works for me. It also contains other nutrients which I cannot stomach when taking them separately as a multi vitamin.

I was prescribed this medicine 5 years ago by my GYN. I had low iron and was also losing a lot of blood during the monthly cycle. I felt very tired and weak. This is the only thing that works for me. It also contains other nutrients which I cannot stomach when taking them separately as a multi vitamin. I was without insurance coverage for a few months and was charged over $200 for the prescription. I had stopped taking it for a month and noticed a huge difference in my energy level. I paid the next month because the product had helped me so much. I went online and found the coupon which dropped the cost to $35. The only side effect is a vanilla after taste which goes away shortly after taking it. Other than that, great product for my condition and the only thing that I will use.

Literally makes me so sick to my stomach. I've been taking it for about 2 weeks and told my doc that I just couldn't tolerate it so he's switching me.

I was getting winded just going up stairs, I had even stopped going to the grocery store, etc. I've got my pep back in my step. I look forward to the next two months so I can fully return to normal.

i am confused about when to take this med or what other meds/supplements should be taken at other times. With food or not, with lots of water or not etc.

I begin taking this medication during the third trimester of my pregnancy, and had significant problems with the timing of the doses. Any earlier than two hours after eating and I was violently ill. Same if I took it with too much fluid. Now I take about three hours after eating and with a half a glass of fluid. Has greatly improved my anemia and didn't cause any other problems.
