Find the cause: Low hemoglobin is not always due to iron deficiency, your doctor has to find the cause of the low hemoglobin and treat it if possible.

Need more info: If you are anemic, the cause needs to be ascertained and treatment directed at the cause. If your anemia is due to iron deficiency and you do not wish to take iron pills, replacement iron can be administered by intravenous infusion.
