User Reviews for ferrous sulfate oral

I have heavy periods that have brought my iron down. I'm really hoping that my next round of blood work shows I can stop it. I actually feel worse than I did before I started taking it. I'd rather have the nagging pain in my side than feeling like I'm going to puke and pass out on my bathroom floor in the morning in a sweaty puddle, and then the rest of the day walk around with the irony taste like I'm sucking anchovies.

I started taking 5GR(325 mg) tabs 02 28 2014. Have experienced some intermittent constipation often dark stool, but, worst of all, intense itching all over my body including acne-type boils on my arms, buttocks, and the top of my chest; and slight increase of facial acne. I am stopping to take the pills and need to find another way to reduce my anemia; possibly adding red meat to my diet which currently is mostly veggies with fish every other day, and a low sodium intake as possible( diet due to diabetes issues exasperated by obesity).

I have been taking 325 mg 1 x a day for 1 month and my side affects are. Dark stools,loose stools, stomach cramps and stomach upset, extreme dry mouth. I can handle all except the dry mouth, it is extremely bothersome especially when trying to sleep.

before I began taking this product I was very, very tired, no energy, severe cramping during my period. I slept for long periods of time. After taking the product I can stay up all day, have lots of energy and feel much better.

This drug causes serious painful constipaion. A HEME iron is more cost efective way to treat anemia

I have taken this supplement for 30 days. I am still very tired.

I like the energy level going up, but I get extreme diarrhea from it. I may try to go with something else.

breathing better oxyn.up from 92 to 97 feel like i have more energy

Have been on drug for only 6 days and have severe cramping and diarrhea,blood in stool, challenge to make it to bathroom. I'm sick to my stomach, have iron taste in mouth. Not a good experience so far. I'm staying on med for a while longer, info says side effects will subside.

I have COPD along with my anemia. Was given a unit of blood in the hospital and sent home with 325mg pills to take 3 times a day. Have experienced constipation (took a laxative last night), dark stool, but, the worse of all, intense itching all over my body. I will need to find something else to increase the iron level.

using it beacuse i had a low iron count when applying to doante blood

I have been on this drug for 2 monts due to blood loss during surgery. My md told me that I would have black stoos which is natural with this drug. My hgb has came up from 7.6 to 9.8 in two months tking it 2 times a day. I have 2 more months to go and have not had any side effects from this pill.

I was prescribed this for Anemia and heavy periods. I must say that it definitely has helped me. I probably need a higher dosage, but when I take this everyday and don't skip, my periods are no longer heavy. I even started getting my energy back, slowly but I'm getting there.

I was so very weak and tired from irondeficiency due to low red blood count. Had a blood transfusion and put on iron tablets and now I am back to my usual feeling great.
