Being anemic my hemoglobin went up higher than it had been in years on this product. When I stopped taking I went to an all time low. Will stay on it from now on!

The product works well!! This is probably individual, but I've had significant problems with constipation using it, and have changed my diet to include a lot more fiber, etc....and now have a serious gas problem. Although the prescribed dose is 1 a day, after 6 weeks (and an increased hbg of 10.2 to 11.4) I switched to taking it every other day. Better a slower remedy of the low iron problem than to stop taking it, and still be anemic and tired all the time! Although I'm 56, I'm not menopausal and so hope the low iron problem gets better with menopause.Read More Read Less

Feel better, and the only side effect I have had besides discoloration of urine is an upset stomach, which I now take an acid reducer along with it, and that has helped.

Ever since I have started taking this vitamin, I have had bloody stools, dizziness, and uncontrollable nausea and vomitting. I am not sure if it is caused by this vitamin, but it seems that once I started taking it, these symptoms came out of no where.

Due to fibriods, Iam a chronic anemic. My Doctor placed me on Tandem plus to avoid having to take drastic measures, i.e. blood transfusion, etc. She said that she would give it 30 days to see how/if it would work for me. Well I am grateful to God that my hemoglobin went from 8.0 to 9.2 in 30 days. I am very happy that I am on my way to reaching the goal of at least a hemoglobin of 10 within 20 days. BTW, I am under treatment to reduce the fibroids; the real problem! I like how easy it is to digest and tolerate Tandum. Read More Read Less

I was prescribed Tandem Plus because my iron level was at 35 (normal low level for a female is 60). I was actually short of breath almost constantly from the iron deficiency. Within a week, I noticed a significant relief of my breathing problems. I also had more energy than I had experienced in several months. The only problems I had with this medication was constipation and a little bit of nausea. I used a stool softner daily for the constipation, and took the medication with a meal to help with the nausea.Read More Read Less
