Now as my disease has progressed so the doctors have increased the dose to 1.5gm two times also they have prescribed ferrous ascorbate 100 mg two times daily. From the last fifteen days I have started taking the increased dose, I have stomach pain and sometimes it is very sharp. Please suggest whats the issue with me.
