I have recently been prescribed an iron supplement to help with low ferratin. Will this interfere with the effectiveness of my oral contraceptive? (I have been advised to try a few different supplements until I find one that works, starting with feramax and palafer, and the oral contraceptive I am on is Minovral 28)
