Question : Hi. My name is XXXXXXX I just was told by my doctor that my iron is low. The score was 19-that was a few weeks ago when she took my blood. Not anemic, but low. She prescribed Ferralet90 iron supplement, which is 90 mg once daily. I'm a but concerned about the side effects, but I guess I need to take it. How soon after I take one will I know if I have an adverse reaction?? Thank you.
