Resolved Can I have regular iron infusion for low iron?

Hello, Iron is important component of Hemoglobin and hence very low iron often results in low Hemoglobin as well. I presume you have seen a doctor to identify the cause of low iron levels which may need Scans and/or Scopes. Diet alone will take a long time to improve your iron levels and you may benefit from a combination of diet and oral replacement of iron. Generally we recommend red meat, Green leafy vegetables like spinach , foods fortified with iron like some breakfast cereals. Remember Vitamin C helps in dietary iron absorption so keep taking the oranges and olives. Iron infusion is usually reserved for those who are not responding to oral therapy or in those where a quick increase in levels are needed.

Thanks! This is indeed useful for me. especially the part on Vit C.
