How long does ferose f tablets take to increase the ferritin levels?

It depends: I understand you are a 50 year old woman. If you are iron-deficient, the key is to discover why. If this happened because you are a vegetarian or heavy blood donor, please get advice on your options. If you have chronic blood loss from some source, this needs to be identified because it often warns of serious illness. We pathologists say, "Treat the person, not the lab value." Best wishes.
