can taking iron tablets make you throw up?

Answer 1

Iron is a metallic substance that isn't digested very well in the body in large amounts. If you are feeling sick after an iron tablet try taking it with food to lessen the blow to your stomach. You need 20 mg daily. This can also come from food, which is a smaller amount that won't make you throw up.
