Do I need a prescription to get iron supplements? I am vegan.

Yes, it is possible to obtain iron supplements without a prescription at the pharmacy. Iron supplements are classified as over-the-counter medications (annexe 2), meaning they can be purchased without a doctor's prescription but should be recorded in your patient file. However, it is still important to not overlook regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your iron levels through blood tests. Your doctor can determine if you still need the supplements, as a vegan diet may provide some iron in plant-based form which could have replenished your iron reserves.
