A member asked:
How much time does it take to replenish red blood cells if your anaemic & starting to take iron tablets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: It depends on where you are starting, that is how profoundly anemic you are to start. If it is not too bad, I'd expect 2-3 months. That would also mean that you have corrected the cause of the anemia to begin with, (for example really heavy menses). Another factor would be the dose of the iron, (strength as well as how many iron pills a day that you take.)
