Since Livogen is causing rashes, you should stop taking it. We can easily find alternative gentle iron formulations, like carbonyl iron, or explore intravenous iron if needed. However, experiencing blood in your stool and ongoing rashes requires a prompt evaluation by a doctor to find the exact cause and ensure you are safe. Please consult your healthcare provider soon so they can examine you, address the bleeding, and safely manage your iron levels and hair loss.

Not having black stools is completely normal and does not mean your body isn't absorbing the iron from your Livogen-Z. In fact, it often means your body is absorbing the iron very efficiently. Regarding your scheduling, calcium can interfere with iron absorption. To ensure you get the full benefit of both, please take your iron and calcium supplements at least two hours apart. For example, you can take your Livogen-Z in the morning and your calcium supplement in the afternoon or evening.

Anaemia and difficulty gaining weight can result from vitamin or mineral deficiencies or underlying health conditions.

Do not start any medications or supplements on your own.

Livogen tablets, which contain iron (ferrous fumarate) and folic acid, do not affect your progesterone levels. Livogen is a nutritional supplement used to treat or prevent iron deficiency and support healthy red blood cells. Since it does not contain any hormones, it has no impact on your body's natural hormone production, including progesterone. You can safely take this medication without worrying about it disrupting your hormonal balance. If you are experiencing any symptoms that make you concerned about your progesterone levels, I highly recommend discussing them with your doctor.

It is actually quite common to experience lingering stomach irritation even after stopping iron supplements like ferrous ascorbate or Livogen. Iron can be harsh on the delicate lining of your stomach, and it can take a few days to a week for the irritation to fully heal and soothe. In the meantime, try eating small, bland meals, staying well-hydrated, and avoiding spicy or acidic foods to let your stomach rest. If the pain is severe or does not improve in a few days, please reach out to your doctor so they can help you find a gentler way to treat your low iron.

Feeling extreme weakness after a Chikungunya infection is common, as the body needs time to recover. Focus on rest, light nutritious meals, and staying hydrated.
