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

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.

I have been taking Ferro-Sequels for over 35 years with great success. As a busy music executive with massive stress levels 7 days a week, and with pernicious anemia running in my family, these were recommended to me by my doctor at the time, who was one of the premier internists in Beverly Hills and on the staff of Cedar Sinai. You only have to take them once a day, like a vitamin, I have never experienced any side effects or constipation, and have ALWAYS had stellar iron levels in my semi-annual blood tests! Any doctor will tell you these are truly the best OTC Iron tabs you can buy. Oh and these were the best price and great, fast shipping.

I have been using Ferro-Sequels for a couple years now (due to iron absorption problems from Crohn's). I get no side affects because of the time release of the iron. It also has the best absorption among all other products I've tried. I do take it with Vitamin C for even better absorption. Lately I have not been able to find this product in any of the stores near me. So I tried Amazon, and of course, they had it!

This is a good value for Ferro-Sequels. Be sure to buy two packages in order to qualify for the free shipping.

This product is great for people who need to take an iron supplement. It is gentle on the digestive system and the tablet is small and easy to swallow.

This may keep others from getting constipated, not me.
Used it for a week, not pretty

great product. It got my iron level above normal without any problems. The only negative is the packaging. It is hard to get the pills out of their protective wraps.

My doctor suggested this form of iron supplement because it is absorbed slowly over 24 hours and is very easy on your stomach and digestive system. It was a significant improvement over the basic Iron tablets I had been taking to treat anemia. I have had no side effects since changing to Ferro-Sequels and my iron levels have returned to normal. This is an excellant product. The cost savings through Amazon was significant!
