Patient's question:
How to take the iron, zinc, and calcium effervescent tablets? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to get better? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Avoid meal times, preferably 2 hours before or after eating. When digesting iron, zinc, and calcium supplements, they consume a significant amount of stomach acid, which can affect appetite and digestion if taken with meals. During calcium supplementation, reduce tea consumption and minimize the intake of oxalate-rich foods, such as onions and spinach. Do not take it with milk. If the baby is breastfeeding, the mother can drink it, and the baby may absorb some of it. If the baby is not drinking, you can try again after a while.
