What is the used of ferrous fumarate for the patient of having stroke?

Iron supplement: The patient may simply be anemic. Low oxygen distribution to tissues in atherosclerotic vascular disease (hardening and blockage of arteries) is worsened by low oxygen carrying capacity (anemia). Discuss all of the treatment strategies with the doctor.
