I'm taking HCQS tablets in the morning and at night for synovitis treatment, but I recently noticed during a routine blood test that my iron levels are low. Is there a particular iron supplement I can take alongside HCQS without worrying about any interactions?

You can consider taking ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate iron supplements, which are generally well-tolerated and less likely to interact with HCQS
