Can Iron Supplements Increase Trigeminal Neuralgia?
I am 79 years and I suffer from TN treated with Trleptal. Beacause of my TN I eat very badly and suffer of iron deficiency. Can I take any iron supplement without fearing any worsening fo my TN? Is there any link between the two?Thank you very much AndreasSu

Hello,
You can safely take iron tablets along with trileptal. There is no interaction between the two medicines or iron with TN.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
