Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Iron replacement is a common treatment for people with renal issues. So i dont think you need to worry about it. Besides they are usually given to them in low doses.

And it does not cause any major problem in gout diabetes, heart surgeries, high bp, or gastric bypass

Look out for severe gastritis and sudden anaphylactic reaction

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.
