Iron supplement: Hopefully your anemia is the most common one, low iron in which case iron supplements are cheap and over the counter. Most other causes require an evaluation with blood counts and sometimes x-ray studies and a few even a marrow biopsy. These are not so cheap but you will want your family doctor to find out the cause of your anemia and fix it for you.
