 I received expired tablets. July 24, 2010

I received expired tablets. These people even do not check expiry date of medicine before shipping.
 No bad side affects but extremely difficult packaging July 15, 2010
Prism (California, United States)
Being constantly anemic, I always dread having to take Iron pills because they leave my stomach so upset. The Slow Fe tablets are pricey but they are worth it! No stomach problems associated with iron at all! My big complaint is that they are extremely hard to open. It is so time consuming and difficult. If you have arthritis, opening these will be a nightmare. I still think the benefits outweigh the cons. When I am bored, I stand and open 10 or so tablets at a time and put them in a pill box.

I received these very fast and they seem to be helping. Before purchasing i read the reviews and i agree that the packaging needs some work. They are hard to get out and would be a real problems for someone with arthritis.
It does what it advertises May 26, 2010
C. Gregg (San Diego, CA United States)
I started experiencing a tingling in my legs last year after I went to bed. I would fall asleep and wake up 20 minutes later with a restless feeling in my legs. It would take me a long time to fall back asleep as I would have to stretch my legs etc. to get my legs to calm down. Occasionally my movements would wake up my husband. Then it got worse and I was experiencing a vibrating feeling that was extending up my body. It also started to occur prior to falling asleep instead of waking me up. It was driving me crazy. I went to the doctor in December and had a blood test. I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia in December 2009.
A side note, I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance 5 years ago. I never had a biopsy to confirm celiac or have been good with maintaining a gluten free diet. It could be a coincidence, but iron deficiency anemia is also a result of celiac due to malabsorption.
My doctor recommended this brand of iron pills. I took it in the morning with juice on an empty stomach. I started out taking one and I felt the effects immediately. My restless legs went away. A month or two later, I noticed the restlessness again, so I started taking two. Unfortunately, I am now taking 3 pills and have started taking 1 in the morning and 2 in the evening. I went back to the doctor's last month and my results showed an improvement. I hope that I don't have to increase the dosage, but according to the site I can take 4 max a day. We shall see.

I'm currently 6 months pregnant with twins and was told about 2 months ago that my iron levels were low so I needed to take a supplement. I asked my doctor if she had any recommendations and she specifically mentioned this one. I've taken it for a couple months now with positive results and I haven't had any adverse side effects that other iron supplements may cause. I agree, the packaging is a pain but I just take a sharp knife and cut the pill out... it literally takes me 5 seconds. Not a big deal. It is definitely worth the "extra effort" to me and my developing babies!
