Dry heaving after taking Procare vitamin!!!!

My goodness!!! I was driving and took my Procare vitamin with 45 mg of iron. It has gotten stuck before so I was sure to drink lots of water! My mouth started watering excessively I started dry heaving! I grabbed some water and chugged then threw it up and continued to do this a few minutes!!! What happened! Has anyone else experienced this!

Well I take chewables due to dysphagia from my EOS so if you're having issues like that maybe try switching to a chewable? Maybe you're just not tolerating the non-chewables for some reason...

A lot of people experience nausea from iron supplements, especially if taking them on an empty stomach. It might help to take it with food. Also, there are different forms of iron. I just checked the ProCare multivitamin and it contains ferrous fumarate. Carbonyl iron and chelated iron tend to be easier on the stomach.

I put my vitamins in a little one ounce cup, like a medicine cup and toss them back. I think this would work well with one big one too. If I'm having trouble I take them with a thick liquid like protein shake or tomato juice. Full stomach is a good idea.

Thank you! I never had the vomiting episode only the stuck feeling! I’m going to try them again with food on stomach and protein shake! If I have it again I will stop taking!

Same here. I have to plan it out that I have a cracker or a small bite of food in my stomach, take the vitamin with a few ounces of water. I have also put the vitamin in a cup of water for 1-2 minutes so it slides down easier. I have done this at times when I have not felt well or after an episode like you just had.

some of the B vitamins can cause nausea, too. I had trouble with those early out, but I've been taking them without issue for awhile now..

seconding chewables.
