Is Ayurvedic iron supplement safe with psychiatric medicine?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My Hb levels went down because of bleeding piles and I started iron supplements but it makes my depressive symptoms worse as I am already on psychiatric medicine. Please suggest an Ayurvedic medicine that does not interact with psychiatric medicine, for iron boost.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. See if your hemoglobin level is around 10 then rather than taking any supplements, take a diet that helps improve hemoglobin levels. If Hb (hemoglobin) is below 10, then you can take the following medicine: Capsule Blossom (Unja) one capsule two times a day with water after food for 10 days. Consult me or a nearby Ayurveda physician regarding improvement and further management.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
