I take my iron tablet with my combined vitD/magnesium tablet so does that mean it doesn’t get absorbed as much?

iron tablets cause stomach issues if not taken with food or late during night. best time take is with lunch and on alternative days so every 2nd or 3rd day. been taking them for years.

I got given FF because my Iron stores are low. Which they think is causing my excessive hairloss. I was on 3 a day, but it's making me very ill. Difficult to get an appointment. Can I reduce them ?
