Does excessive iron supplementation during pregnancy have an impact?

Patient's question:

My wife has been taking Tielong for over 6 months of pregnancy! She takes it three times a day! Two tablets each time! She has taken it for five days! But the instructions say to take only one tablet a day! I just want to know if taking this in excess will have any effects?
The first question was about the instructions for Tielong! But it's a bit unclear! Thanks!!!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the current usage does not actually have much of a selection issue. Whether to use more or less depends on the hemoglobin levels. These dosages are all safe. As the pregnancy progresses, the amount needed by the fetus will increase further. Of course, after pregnancy, due to the increased blood volume in both the mother and fetus, there may be a slight decrease in red blood cells, leading to mild anemia, which will not affect the baby. However, it is still necessary to supplement these substances.
