How do i go about getting iron supplements ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pharmacist or MD: Many over the counter iron supplements are available. However, you may wish (and I would recommend) to see your physician to get a recommendation for a regimen to take that is personalized for you based on your total iron stores, hemoglobin level, heaviness of your periods, etc.
