Hi.
I can understand your concern. Should be taken for another 6-12 weeks after delivery. The major causes of postpartum anemia are prepartum anemia combined with blood losses at delivery. So she should take Orofer tablets either alone or in combination with folic acid for 6–12 weeks following delivery for reducing the risk of anemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
