Does Livogen Help For Anemia Without Side Effects?

Hello. I'm 18 and anemic. I used to take iron supplements when the doctor first told me I was anemic but stopped after 6 months. I haven't been getting enough Iron off late as I stay in a hostel. Is it alright for me to take Livogen tablets? Will there be any side effects?
Thank you.

Livogen tablet contains ferrous fumarate and folic acid.
It can be used in microcytic hypochromic anaemia to increase iron.
The side effects are sore throat, trouble swallowing, severe stomach pain, blood in your stools, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
