How should i increase my iron level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pills Easiest: Iron is available otc in various strengths, usually 65 mg and one would usually take one 2 or 3 times a day. Because iron deficiency can be a sign of serious illness it is always best to be checked up by a doctor first as some folks should not take iron supplements or recieve it in different forms/strengths. Assuming no contraindication, otc iron is as good as any presc in my opinion.
