What Causes A Drop In The RBC Levels?

I have been told to take proferrin at max dosage for this. Will it change cbc levels to mask the levels? I mave hemoglobin level of 12.4, up from 11.9 and ferritin of 11 and dropping. RBC's are fropping. Blood counts last taken at end of Sept and began dropping in July or earlier.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Natural blood loss is common in females via menstrual cycles. So if you are female loss is common in you.

If you are male than the thing is worry some.

In both the cases it is necssaery to know the exact cause of haemoglobin loss.

Final treatment of such a cause is the treatment for haemoglobin loss.

Till you search the cause I advice you to take the proferrin as you are taking. It is also advice you to take vitamin B12 and folic acid. As this is also important in boosting up your hemoglobin level.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Please hit thank you for me if you are helped.
Thank you,
