I am taking iron tablets but feel very sick. Is there any tablet I can take with the iron tablet to stop this feeling?

Ferrous sulphate, the most commonly-prescribed iron tablet, sometimes causes nausea and constipation in people. Assuming that you have had a blood test that shows a need for additional iron, I would suggest iron biscylinate, a gentler form of iron that has good bioavailability.
