I had very low hemoglobin 9.4. I went through a battery of tests and it was determined that the cause was heavy periods. I started taking Repliva and my hemoglobin has come up to 14.6. It does cause me some stomach issues, so I take it at night and I don't have a problem that way.

Taking this medication has improved my color - no constipation but I have experienced quite a bit of dizziness and nausea. I plan on changing the time I take this pill from the morning to right before I go to bed at night.

The pill was so large and difficult for me to swallow that it got stuck in my throat half way down. I spent two hours in the emergency room until it finally got past my esophagus. Meanwhile, it was slowliy dissolving in my throat leaving a terrible taste in my mouth. I will never take this again.

4 days on this treatment and I don't have the stomach issues that I experienced with over the counter iron supplements. I don't feel any different yet but I'm hopeful

After one week, I am constipated, tired and have a facial rash and swelling. Is it working? Not sure. I'm going to stop it to see if redness will go away.

This morning marked my 7th day on the pill. I've spent most of the day on the toilet in terrible pain. I don't plan on taken it tomorrow or ever again. I don't wish this experience on my worse enemy.

Better than any of the over the counter iron supplements. I don't have any nausea or upset stomach. It's great.
