Can taking iron pills even though you are normal or not anemic anymore raise your platelet count ? ive been taking iron as i was anemic over a year ago from bleeding from a hiatal hernia and reflux which are now under control. platelets were 420k?

Iron deficiency, with or without anemia, is associated with elevated platelet count, Taking iron will not raise platelet count.
