Good morning The doctor advised me to take iron Ferrum Chewable drug, 2 times a day for anemia Can I take this iron "at once", just take 2 tablets at the same time? Will this iron somehow affect the effectiveness of Microgynon 21 tablets?

According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, Ferrum is usually used in a single dose of 100 mg (1 tablet) and in divided doses at higher doses. This allows you to maintain a constant concentration of the drug in the blood around the clock and increase the effectiveness of therapy. Therefore, it would be more recommended to use the drug 2 times a day than at one time in a large dose. There were no significant interactions with the concomitant use of Ferrum Lek and Microgynon 21 contraceptive pills.
