No difference with floridex, ended up taking Ferrograd with vit c when my iron level went into freefall when I was pregnant. No side effects except black poo.

I use spatone and I've never had any side effects from it but I can't compare it to floridex because I've never used that...spatone did keep my haemoglobin up when I bled heavily from a miscarriage though so it works.

I find spatone more convenient - portable sachets and you don't have to keep it in the fridge. :)
