How long does it take to replenish an iron count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several weeks: I generally treat children with iron deficiency anemia with iron for about 4 months. I expect them to correct their anemia in about two months; the other 2 months are to re-establish normal amounts of storage iron in the body.
