Re: Yet ANOTHER Iron question

[Guest guest]

Beth, I've never heard this before, not that it's not the case, but I

know that's the instructions for Fosomax (which we shouldn't take

anyway). I'd be curious to know which iron it is.

I do recall there was a caution about this on the pharmacy information sheet

that accompanies prescriptions (like for the Chromagen & the Niforex). Seem

to recall the caution was to not lay down for one hour. Even now, when I

take my OTC iron at night during somnolent pee breaks, I will prop myself up

against my headboard and fall back to sleep that way (I don't have a problem

doing this, some others might I guess.) Why not call you local pharmacy chain

and ask the pharmacist. They are really pretty good about this stuff.

-- that way, they are by themselves for a few more hours until you get your

Does anyone know the " whys and wherefores " of this, and is it a problem? The

middle of the night routine has been pretty successful for many of my folks

but I don't want to be suggesting it if it's a problem.
