Question again

Nettiboo1982, Have you tried larger pharmacies like Boots and Lloyds? If they can't fill your prescription you can buy ferrous gluconate online

why not eat loads of watercress and spinach ...uncooked of course in a salad

mind you meat sources of iron are far better absorbed so being vegan is not helping you at all

have you checked blue bonnet chelated iron

If you have your paper prescription, you could investigate the numerous on-line pharmacies. The NHS lists many here:

However, it looks as though there is only one UK supplier of ferrous gluconate - Kent Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Could be more - but this is the only one on EMC.) Furthermore, there is only one dosage listed on both EMC and BNF.

Ferrous Gluconate (Non-proprietary)

Tablets, red, coated, ferrous gluconate 300 mg (35 mg iron), net price 28 = £1.95

Dose prophylactic, 2 tablets daily before food; therapeutic, 4–6 tablets daily in divided doses before food; CHILD 6–12 years, prophylactic and therapeutic, 1–3 tablets daily

Perhaps the issue is that your doctor has prescribed a medicine that is difficult or impossible to obtain - or simply does not even exist?
