15 Weeks Pregnant. Taking Iron Supplement Orofer XT, Vomiting, Acidity, Nausea. Alternate Medication?
I am in my 15th week of pregnancy, have started taking iron supplement Orofer XT, which makes me extremely sick. I feel like throwing up, and sometimes i did have vomiting after taking this medicine. If not vomiting, there is a constant acidity and nausea . Is there an alternative and is it a normal side effect of this medicine?
