Hard stool on taking iron supplements
Hi doctor,
I have recently delivered a baby and was told to take raricap 100 and corcium d3 daily.
Also mashyne 60k vitd3 capsule once every week.
Problem is I'm having hard stool whenever I take raricap.I stopped it and saw tht my stool normalised.
But due to me becoming anemic post delivery,doc advised me to take these for a year.
I have bleeding sometimes bcs of the hard stool.
Plz suggest me what to do as I can't stop iron supplements.
Also suggest if any other suppliment or medicine I can take to ease my stool.
