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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allHello Doctor, Almost a month ago, my daughter started complaining of stomachache after every meal and had loose motions about twice a day. Her blood test showed a hemoglobin level of 6.1 g/dL. The doctor advised hemoglobin injections (Vitcofol 10 mL, 5 injections). Even after taking the injections, her hemoglobin only increased to 6.5 g/dL in about a month, and the stomachache persists. She is now taking homeopathic medication for her stomach, which has helped somewhat, but I am still worried about her very low hemoglobin. Kindly suggest what medication can help improve her hemoglobin and what could be the main reason for this condition.
