iron supplements

Did you know that there are dozens of iron supplements available over the counter.  Overdoses of iron are very difficult  to treat and may be fatal so please use only the supplement your physician has recommended.  Do NOT start an iron supplement for your child unless your pediatrician has recommended one!

This is not a drug that I would substitute for something that I thought was similar without first asking a pharmacist.  I would also recommend not using foreign medications for this one because of the risk of liver failure and death in the event of accidental overdose.
