Duofem And Ferrous Fumarate Has Anyone Used The Oral Contraceptive Duofem?

Has anyone used the oral contraceptive Duofem? - duofem and ferrous fumarate

They have the same side effects than most other oral contraceptives? Why is iron (ferrous fumarate) is tablet for the day of placebo pills rather inactive or under?
Any idea or links to websites would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
