Ferrous sulphate, appetite loss

2 replies

I'm taking ferrous sulphate for low iron stores, I have been taking for about a week. Side effects aren't too bad in terms of nausea ir constipation, BUT it has completely killed my appetite. I can manage a bit of food and cheese, plus cups of tea, but nothing else really appeals and so I'm just having the odd snack.

Anyone else had this? I feel better overall since starting the iron but it feels weird to have gone right off food like this. Normally I LOVE food...

This didn’t happen to me. Hopefully it will wear off as it seems to be working well for you otherwise. Good luck.

It’s a common side effect.
