I am taking Zith, but iron levels are slightly low.

LLMD told me to take Slow FE, but I thought I read earlier that iron and Zith should not be taken together; however, I can no longer find the info.

Can anyone help?

Yikes! I didn't know that.

I take prescription strenth iron with Zith.

I'd like to know if this is a risk.

check a drug interaction checker

When I plug in slow Fe and zith, it says no interaciton.
