Sigh, what can you do? these meds are certainly heavy duty when you think of it...

Best of luck
I take iron pills too, since my Ferretin level was low last it was checked. I take it once a day, Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg over the counter. I take it with food as it can cause stomach upset ( can cause constipation too). That can be a cause of hair loss too, anemia. They do have Rogaine for women(OTC), although I haven't tried that yet. Biotin is supposed to help too, which is an over the counter supplement. Thanks everyone for all your responses.
