How Can Hemoglobin Levels Be Increased?
I am 69 yrs old. My haemoglobin content is 10.4%. It has increased from 9 to 10 After taking normal iron tablets with folic acid and vit B supplements for 3 months. Are there any effective syrups or iron preparations that can enhance haemoglobin conten in my blood? I had recently undergone whole body check up. Rest every thing is fine except for this. Can you suggest any iron supplement, please.

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that Continue with your tablet of iron. Syrup is somewhat costly as compared to tablets and gives the same results as tablets. If you have to change the oral treatment than other option is you can take the injectables but they to are costly and obviously a painful. But seeing your hemoglobin level it is adviced you to take the oral not the injectables. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
