Why Choose This Product
Active Iron Pregnancy combines two elements in one daily routine: a dedicated 25mg Active Iron capsule and a comprehensive pregnancy multivitamin tablet.
The multivitamin provides folate as L-methylfolate together with vitamin D, iodine, B vitamins and several other vitamins and minerals relevant to maternal nutrition.
The 60-count pack contains 30 iron capsules and 30 multivitamin tablets. This is therefore approximately a 30-day supply rather than a 60-day supply.
Helpful Product Information
Active Iron Pregnancy provides 25mg of iron alongside a dedicated pregnancy multivitamin. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell and haemoglobin formation and reduced tiredness and fatigue, while folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
The product contains folate in an L-methylfolate form. Women who have specifically been advised to take a prescribed 5mg folic acid dose should continue the regimen recommended by their healthcare professional.
Because this is already a comprehensive pregnancy supplement, check before combining it with another prenatal multivitamin, iron product or high-dose vitamin/mineral supplement.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Iron requirements can increase during pregnancy. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and normal oxygen transport in the body.
However, individual requirements vary. If blood tests have identified iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia, follow the iron dose and duration recommended by your GP, pharmacist, midwife or maternity team. A food supplement should not automatically replace therapeutic iron prescribed to correct a deficiency.
Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Adequate folate status is particularly important before conception and during early pregnancy.
Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. The beneficial effect is obtained with a supplemental folic acid intake of 400µg daily for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
Some women require a prescribed 5mg folic acid dose because of individual risk factors. A standard pregnancy supplement should not be used as a substitute for that prescribed dose.
If you take levothyroxine or other regular medicines, ask your pharmacist about appropriate timing because iron and some minerals can affect medicine absorption.
Not Suitable For
Seek professional advice before use if:
- You have haemochromatosis or another iron-overload disorder
- You have been told that your iron levels are high
- You have diagnosed iron-deficiency anaemia requiring treatment
- You have been prescribed a specific therapeutic iron dose
- You have been prescribed 5mg folic acid
- You take levothyroxine
- You take regular prescription medication
- You already take another pregnancy multivitamin
- You already take an iron supplement
- You have a milk protein allergy
- You are allergic or sensitive to any listed ingredient
How to Use
Take one Active Iron capsule and one pregnancy multivitamin tablet daily.
Swallow with water.
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Follow any individual supplementation advice provided by your GP, pharmacist, midwife or maternity healthcare professional.

FAQs
1. What is Active Iron Pregnancy 60 Capsules?
Active Iron Pregnancy is a combined pregnancy food supplement containing 30 Active Iron capsules and 30 pregnancy multivitamin tablets. One of each is taken daily, providing iron, folate and a broad range of vitamins and minerals formulated for maternal nutrition.
2. Does Active Iron Pregnancy contain 60 iron capsules?
No. The 60-count pack contains two different components: 30 Active Iron capsules and 30 pregnancy multivitamin tablets. Because you take one of each daily, the complete pack provides approximately 30 days' supply.
3. How much iron does Active Iron Pregnancy contain?
The current Active Iron Pregnancy formulation provides 25mg of iron per daily serving. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, normal oxygen transport and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
4. Why is iron important during pregnancy?
Iron contributes to normal red blood cell and haemoglobin formation and normal oxygen transport. It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Individual iron requirements during pregnancy vary, so follow any specific advice provided by your maternity healthcare team.
5. Does Active Iron Pregnancy contain folate?
Yes. The pregnancy multivitamin contains folate in an L-methylfolate form. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, normal blood formation and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
6. Does Active Iron Pregnancy replace folic acid before and during early pregnancy?
Do not assume that any prenatal multivitamin replaces individual folic acid advice. Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status, and women are generally advised to ensure appropriate folic acid supplementation before conception and during early pregnancy. Check the current pack for the exact folate quantity and discuss your requirements with your pharmacist, GP or maternity team.
7. Can Active Iron Pregnancy replace prescribed 5mg folic acid?
No. If your GP or maternity healthcare professional has prescribed 5mg folic acid because of specific risk factors, continue taking the prescribed dose as directed. A standard pregnancy multivitamin should not be considered a substitute.
8. Can I take Active Iron Pregnancy throughout pregnancy?
The current product is formulated for use throughout pregnancy. Individual nutritional requirements can change, particularly if blood tests identify iron deficiency or another nutritional issue, so follow any specific advice from your GP, pharmacist, midwife or maternity team.
9. Can I take another pregnancy multivitamin with Active Iron Pregnancy?
Avoid routinely combining two comprehensive pregnancy multivitamins. Active Iron Pregnancy already contains iron, folate, vitamin D, iodine and multiple other micronutrients. Combining products may unnecessarily increase your intake of certain nutrients. Ask your pharmacist to compare the products if you are unsure.
10. Can I take Active Iron Pregnancy with levothyroxine?
Iron and some minerals can interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine. If you take levothyroxine, ask your pharmacist or doctor how far apart the products should be taken and follow the instructions supplied with your medicine.
11. Does Active Iron Pregnancy contain milk?
Yes. Active Iron's iron formulation uses whey protein derived from milk. The product is therefore unsuitable for anyone with a milk protein allergy. Always check the current packaging for the latest allergen declaration.
12. Why buy Active Iron Pregnancy from Lir Pharmacy?
Lir Pharmacy offers convenient delivery throughout Ireland together with pharmacist advice. Our pharmacy team can help check your pregnancy supplements for duplication and advise when iron, folic acid or other nutritional requirements should be discussed with your GP or maternity healthcare team.
