My wife hemoglobin is 8.0 g/dL. I am giving her iron tablets. Can she receive iron injections as well? If yes, what is the name, dosage, and frequency of the injection?

Start with oral iron for 4to6 weeks. Injections only if tabs fail. Use Iron Sucrose under supervision. Recheck CBC, Ferritin in 1 month.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Ferritin Test Test
