Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!

I really appreciate your concern. Haemoglobin of 9.5 is not an crisis for administering IV Iron. Oral therapy is best for this purpose but if you have side effects of oral iron then you can try this tablet after lunch or after dinner to reduce side effects. Alternately, you can have iron rich diet like red meat, pork, poultry (if you are non-vegetarian) & beans, dark green leafy vegetables,dried fruits (vegetarian).
Besides iron, folic acid and Vit. B12 is also important to raise haemoglobin. The tablet you have been prescribed contains all these elements. So better to try it.

Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.

Thank you.

Best Regards.
