Anyone out there use Proferrin for their iron supplement?

Just curious.  I did an internet search and couldn't find the reason why it tells you on the box not to lie down for 30 minutes after taking it.  I fell asleep on the couch and on my way to bed took my evening pills (including the Proferrin), and then hapened to see the warning.  I'm a little crabby as I was really tired and just wanted to trudge up to bed!

Seems like a fiddley little pill with lots of drug interactions; one of which will afect me once I fill a perscription my dermatologist just gave me.  I have however, heard really good things about it's absorption (which is why I bought it).

Anyone else use this product?

I use it, not sure if it's helping though

I heard that it's not good to lay down after because it can cause an ulceration where the pills/capsules land if you are horizontal. I don't think it's specific to just Proferrin though, but other irons as well.

I don't currently take it, but as I am anticipating having to take an iron supplement post-surgery (chronic iron absorption issues), I would like to hear the thoughts of people who are currently taking this medication...

I do and I like it because it doesn't constipate me or upset my stomach and I can take it at any time with no interactions with other vitamins.  I *think* the no laying down thing has to do with causing some possible reflux.

It's an excellent, though spendy, product. 

 I take Feramax and it seems to be working and I haven't experienced any side effects.  Not sure if that helps you or not.
