A member asked:

My ferritin is 19 and saturation is 11 . how much iron should i take ? i was told to take some but never an amount?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: 65 mg tablet, three times a day would be adequate. Take the pill with meals to avoid stomach irritation. If you get constipation, take a fiber laxative and drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless. If you are not able to tolerate oral iron, your doctor could give you an intravenous infusion. Take multivitamins as well to facilitate red cell production. Wish you good health!
