A member asked:
How long does it take for ferrous sulfate to start working, i'm taking a liquid form,?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron therapy: Iron starts working quickly but it takes a few weeks to see the hemoglobin raise 2gms. An increase in the blood reticulocytes will prove that the bone marrow is responding to the iron if it is enough of a dose and is absorbed sufficiently.
