A member asked:

Ferritin level my value is 2, should i be doing something other then just starting iron pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Iron stores: Besides replacing iron, you would be wise to be sure you know how you got to a deficient state. Is it heavy menses, vegetarian diet without sufficient iron, GI bleeding or some other cause like inadequate absorption? Get the source of loss nailed down.
