medication

Does any one know if we can take pain killers at the same time as we take any vitamin or iron supplement during pregnancy.  I know Norma gap is 4 hours between every does but I wasnt sure if I can take painkillers and my iron tablets together.  ? Plz any idea?

I was told to tk iron tablets after meals. I want to tk normal paracetamols for pain but im so forgetful with my medication so when I do remember Im wondering if I cn take paracetamols with my iron tablets ( ferrous sulphates) or my vitamins and paracetamols at same time. Ill ring doctors tomorrow see what she says cant see nything about it on Internet.  Thanks ladies. Xx

Iron tablets should probably be taken alone at least an hour before any other meds.

I don't see any reason you couldn't but I have no medical training. Definitely call up your doctor's office or pharmacy to check.

I don't see why it would cause any problems, but I don't know what pain killer it is. I would check with your doctor
