Is Coversyl The Cause For Reduced Hemoglobin Levels?

Hi my dr has me on coversyl 2.5mg and am also on feramax. I recently had bloodwork done and rather than the hb levels going up they have been going down. I told my dr i think the coversyl has somethig to do wih my anemia but he does not think so. My blood pressure is now in the range of 120 to 125 over 75 to 79 but my iron levels are super low what do you advise? Should i maybe change the time i take feramax? I usually take it in the afternoon and the coversyl first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Hi,
There are two aspects to your question. Firstly, Coversyl is NOT causing your anemia. Secondly, if you are having a low Hemoglobin and low Iron levels, you need to be on Iron supplements and get yourself checked for the cause of low Iron.
