I believe in the concept that food is medicine. But sometimes the deficiency makes the doctor to prescribe some supplements. It happens once in a while and I have been advised to take Iron and B12 supplements after weight loss. All go by doctor's suggestion. Once I bring the tablets to home, I usually search for two things. First, I reconfirm the expiry date and then I would find the right method of taking tablets.
This is because of my past experience during pregnancy. In which my Hb count kept constant, in spite of taking iron tablets continuously. The doctor suspected me first and then found the reason. I took the tablets along with calcium tablets, which will inhibit the absorption. Right from then, she instructed the pharmacists and nurses to advise patients. In that hospital, we have to give the medicine to nurses after buying it from pharmacy. They will tell us when to take the medicine and how to. They will also tell us the reason, if they are not busy. This experience is the reason for my searches on right method of taking tablets. For making it easier, I will list them one by one in a table. In this first post, let us see Iron, Calcium, B12, Folic Acid and Fish Oil.
