Ferrous gluconate can harm the liver if iron levels in the body become excessive.
The recommended daily dose of ferrous gluconate is usually 325 mg once daily, increasing to three times daily if needed. You should confirm the dose you should be taking with your own doctor as your iron levels may need to be monitored carefully.
