A member asked:
Iron level: 16.1 umol/l and ferritin level 143.5 ng/ml. what does that mean & what should i do. dr suggests to stop taking multivitamin with iron.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to take iron: Your ferritin levels suggest that you have normal stores of iron. Unless you are experiencing heavy menstrual blood loss, you do not need to continue taking iron.
