I have the same problem as you. An expert say I can take these kind of things. Let along in my case the iron is 4mg. But I have alpha thal minor, while you beta.

Where are you from? You may consult the following thalassemia orgnisations. It is better to ask an expert of thal. I hope this can help you.

There is also an orgnisation called "Thalassemia International".  You can find it out on internet.
