Can we mix iron supplement pills and a natural laxative (senna laxative)?

It is possible to combine iron supplements with a natural laxative such as senna. However, if you are constipated due to iron, senna may not be the most effective treatment. Iron can cause constipation by hardening the stools, so it is usually recommended to use a stool softener to counteract this effect instead of senna.
