Medicine.

I am pregnant, and my iron is low. I have a hard time taking pills, so would it be okay to cut up the iron pill? I am also taking a antibiotic, I got to get all the stuff out of it and put it in a little cut. Its nasty I know, but I just cant swollow a pill!

I don't think cutting it up is a good idea. You can always try breaking the pill in half, or asking your doc for another method. I know they offer it in a liquid form, or you can get a lot of iron from a certain diet.

Iron will make you constipated, so I also suggest taking a good stool softner to help stay regular. You can find stool softners in powder form that are tasteless and oderless. I would try benefiber or miralax, both which are safe during pregnancy and have no odor or taste. You can even add it to food if you don't want to drink it.

But I would cal and ask a pharmacist or your doctor if you can cut the iron pill up, or ask if there is another form of it instead of a pill.  Good luck!
