I am looking to get proferrin and not sure where to get it from. Checked the website proferrin.com and they have it there, but not sure if this is a good brand or the right stuff. Any suggestions?

Proferrin ES is the over-the-counter version. I get mine from Vitalady. Proferrin Forte is prescription, but I have yet to find a local drug store that carries it.

If you have good prescription coverage, it might be worth making some calls.

You don't need the Forte -- it's the absolute same as the ES, but has a HUGE folic acid supplement.

And you won't be able to get it from the website without a script. Some pharmacies may eventually carry it (and then you could possibly get it without a script) but there's no need. Really.

If I get a script...wouldn't it now be covered under my medical plan??? I have prescription coverage.
Proferrin is the script kind?

Forte is the script kind. But many pharmacies won't bother with trying to get it.

At least down here in the states. You can try up there.

I have heard that Proferrin is available in Sam's Club up there for cheap. But I'm going off hear-say.
