Iron supplements and itchy skin
Posted , 2 users are following.
ive been taking iron supplements 150 mg a day for two months and over the past couple weeks I’ve developed an itchy scalp and an itch on my Lower back.
could I have developed an allergic reaction to the supplements?
My ferritins were 7 the end of July and had increased to 33 the middle of September.

Anything’s possible!
Why are u taking such high mg?
Here in US iron supplements average 65mgs, & even lower. I couldn’t take 65mgs anymore cuz it caused internal bleeding. So my pharmacist recommended slow release iron at 45mgs.
