What Causes Dizziness After Taking Iron Pills?
Hi, I have been prescribe iron pills for my low iron levels, I was taking the pills once a day, but do to the recent blood test my Dr. recommended to take one pill 2/3 times per week. Whenever i take the pill now I feel out of balance, dizzy the day after. Is that normal? Should i stop taking them? Thanks!

Hello,
So sometimes iron pills can cause dizziness. Best would be either change brand, or take the tablet at bedtime so that you sleep after that and hence no feeling of dizziness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
