Taking iron… but now you can’t 💩? 😭
Constipation is a common side effect of some iron supplements — but that doesn’t mean you should simply stop taking your iron.
💊 Talk to your pharmacist about your iron preparation
💧 Drink enough fluids
🥝 Increase fibre gradually
🚶🏽♀️ Keep moving
💩 And if constipation becomes troublesome, ask what options may be appropriate for you.
Different forms of iron can affect people differently, so sometimes the solution may be as simple as reviewing the product, dose or how you're taking it with your healthcare professional.
Don’t let constipation make you quietly abandon your treatment. 😭❤️
