Gatritis is known to occur when you take iron tablets. This is why it is asked to be taken at night to reduce symptoms in the day. You need to eat enough food at night t prevent this sensation. Eat more fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink more water. This will neutralise the acidic effect and help in reducing symptoms.

Hello.
Any iron tablet can causes gastritis which gives rise to such type of symptom. Do not take tab in empty stomach. Eat more green vegetable& fresh fruits .
You can take cap ocid 20 mg 30 minutes before taking iron tablet.
I hope your problem will be solved.

Hello. Welcome to HCM. Gastritis is known side effect of iron tablets. You need to take it only after having meal so as to reduce its side effect. And you can drink plenty of water after consuming it to give some relief. Eat healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals and green leafy vegetables. You can take antacids like rantac half an hour befire meal to help you. Wish you good health.
