5.0 out of 5 stars Won't Leave You Hurting., June 25, 2004

This review is from: Ferro-Sequels High Potency Iron Supplement caplets, 100-Count (Health and Beauty)

I was prescribed these during my pregnancy for anemia, told by the doc, that since I was pregnant she didn't want to make contipation a bigger issue.
I moved and no longer had access to these through my new insurance so started taking plain ferrous sulfate. I was miserable, they were not time released it was taking it's toll.
I'll never take anything else now... If you need iron try these, you'll be so glad you did!

My doctor recently discovered I have iron-deficiency anemia. Who knew?! She put me on ferrous sulfate 325 mg 3 x a day. I don't know about you, but I am unwilling to spend the rest of my life being on a pill that upsets my stomach and constipates me. So I looked for an alternative treatment... found Ferro-Sequels at my local Walgreens and asked the pharmacist how many I'd have to take per day to be the same as what the doctor wants me to take. Been taking these about four months now. I take 4 tablets a day (two in the a.m. and two in the p.m.). These are great because they are timed-release pills, easy to swallow with no after-taste, and they don't cause any stomach upset or constipation. Each pill (160 mg of Ferrous Fumarate) delivers 50 mg of ELEMENTAL IRON. Your body will absorb them better if you take them with orange juice (Vitamin C). Try not to take them with milk or caffeine as I read that will decrease the absorption. My military insurance won't cover these, but if you set up Amazon.com's repeat order system (sorry I can't recall what they call that), you will get them at a lower price, and you don't have to remember to re-order, and you can skip a monthly order if you need to as well. I think these are great, and hopefully when it's time to have my blood checked again, it will be much improved. I believe I was at an 11. p.s. Amazon.com's price beats Walgreens any day! Good luck and hope this helps you with your search for iron pills. Ferro - Sequels High Potency Iron Supplement Tablets - 10x10 Unit Dose Package

5.0 out of 5 stars Only iron pill I can take, January 5, 2010

This is the easiest iron pill to take! First I was taking ferrous sulfate and it gave me cluster headaches - took a while to make that connection. Then I tried ferrous gluconate, which gave me a stomach ache and made me burp all day - sheesh! Ferro-Sequels hardly give me any reaction. So glad to have found them.
