What is your opinion of doing iron infusion for pregnant mom with hemiglobin at 8.3? she had been taking iral iron supplements for ten weeks.

See below: Is iron deficiency the only cause of anemia? Has the hemoglobin risen? How much iron is being taken? These are important questions to answer before making a decision regarding IV iron. Iv iron should only be used when oral iron fails to work.
