Are Abdominal Pain And Fatigue Symptoms Of Iron Poisoning?
I accidently took 2 irons pills (100%dv, i think it said 18mg). I also had blackbeans today, as well as a large bowl of fortified cereal. Am I at risk for iron poisoning? I am currently menstruating, so I feel fatigued and have abdominal pain, but I know those are also symptoms of iron poisoning.

Hello,
I don't think that iron poisoning can happen to such dosed 18mg and fortified cereals in a day. You don't have to worry about poisoning. Make sure the other days to keep taking only one tablet as advised by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
