Is There Any Interaction Between Iron Supplement And Birth Control?
Question: do iron pills interfere with XXXXXXX birth control? will it still work fine to prevent pregnancy
Brief Answer:
No interaction whatsoever.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Iron pills do not interact with XXXXXXX pills and do not reduce the efficacy of the contraceptive abilities of the pill. Irrespective of the nature of the salt iron is used with . Either fumarate, gluconate or sulphate or any other form or iron , all are non interacting with XXXXXXX pills and perfectly safe together.
However you should use iron tablets at empty stomach or 3 hours after meal with calcium and vitamin c containing juices like citrus etc to increase its absorption.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
