Hi,
Thanks for the query.
DHA is docosahexanoic acid.
It is prescribed in early pregnancy because it helps in the brain development of the baby.
Whereas ferris 100 tablet contains iron.
It helps in improving the hemoglobin levels.
Mild anemia can be treated with medicines.
In case of severe anemia, you may need injectable iron supplements.
Along with tablets taking iron rich foods like green leafy vegetables, fruits, dates, eggs, meat, fish etc should be taken.
Take care.
