Are there other possibilities like other kinds of juice (apple, grape, etc.)?

Thank you for your help!

Question

Hello, I am starting a new treatment, ferrous sulfate, 300mg for my anemia. The pharmacist told me to take the tablets with lemon water or orange juice. However, I don't like orange juice and lemon gives me a stomach ache. He recommended them to me because of the vitamin C that improves absorption

Good evening, Did he tell you why he suggested these juices? Exactly. You can take your iron tablets with any liquid you prefer, but avoid milk, which may decrease absorption. If you want to ingest vitamin C at the same time, you could eat a fruit or vegetable containing it or a vitamin C tablet. Hoping this is helpful, I wish you a nice evening.
