Brief Answer:
EXPLAINED

Detailed Answer:
Yes, it can be used in your case.
1 tablet twice a day can be taken.
Better is to use pregnancy specific preparations such as Livogen / Dexorange etc, which contain higher dosage of iron and hence only one tablet per day would be required.
Take care.

In iron preperations only 10 persent is absorbed of the mentioned iron strength. In tripple iron it is mentioned iron 15mg. I want to know that this 15mg dose is fully absorbed by body. If 10 persent of 15mg is absorbed want it be too less.
I am asking this because other preperations are causing me gastric discomfort but i am fine with tripple iron. Please clearefy my this dought.

Brief Answer:
YOU ARE RIGHT.

Detailed Answer:
Yes, you are absolutely right.
That is why I urged you to take iron preparations with higher dosage.
ALternatively, if gastric discomfort is very severe, then you can take parenteral ( Injectable ) iron preparations.
Take care.
