A member asked:
Prescribed 210mg of ferrous fumarate. 1 3 times a day because my hemoglobin is 10, is this fine or to much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good dose of iron: This is a good dose for getting maximum benefit. It is essential that your body is low in Iron as shown on blood testing for Iron stores. Once your Hemoglobin(Hb) goes up, the dose of Iron pills can be reduced to 1 tab twice a day. But either dose is fine. Send us your CBC results as we want to know what your MCV result is besides having a low Hb.
