When is it best to take my iron supplement if I do gastric reflux? I was also advised to take it with a glass of orange juice. I also take pantoloc and concerta.

Dubuc, it is best to take your iron supplement in the evening before bed with a glass of orange juice. Iron is better absorbed when taken with an acidic juice and without food. If this increases your reflux, you may need to switch to a different type of iron supplement (such as Palafer) or take it with food to improve tolerance. I hope this answers your question, have a good day!
