A member asked:
Anemic girlfriend forgot iron pills many days in a row. should we go to the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Correcting iron deficiency will take a while, so missing a number of days in a row won't cause her harm. She should start them back up and continue to take them until instructed to stop by doc.
