Can I take ferrous sulfate tonight even if I took the late dose this morning?

Question

Hello For anemia of pregnancy, I forgot to take my iron pill 300mg last night between 11pm and midnight, so I took it at 5am today. Do I skip the dose tonight or do I take ferrous sulfate 300mg around 11pm? Thank you Ok thanks

If I understand correctly, you have 1 dose to take per day which you usually take in the evening around 11pm. The dose taken this morning at 5 am is far enough away from the next dose at 11 pm. Therefore, it would be OK to take the dose tonight at the usual time. Also, it is safe to take 2 doses of iron in the same day. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need help.
