Welcome! How can I help with your medical question? Hello, my husband was recently diagnosed with acute anemia. He went for an iron infusion and is still taking iron tablets. I’m worried he’s having too much iron. How can I tell? Thank you for your advice. Danielle Have you seen a doctor about this yet? What medications are you taking? His doctor is on holiday. So we haven’t asked if he should still be taking iron tablets on top of the infusion he had last Thursday. Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know? He might have an ulcer and a few intestinal issues

Dear Customer
Welcome, and thank you for trusting us
Dear customer ..
Treatment of acute anemia depends mainly on the proportion of hemoglobin and the cause of anemia, and treatment is mainly
  • Pay attention to foods that contain iron such as meat, liver, vegetables, citrus
  • Use iron tablets at the rate of one pill per day for 3 months
  • Blood is transferred if the hemoglobin concentration is less than 7
There is no need for iron infusion, except in some cases
  • Do not respond to iron pills
  • Having intestinal problems, led to poor absorption
  • Inability to absorb enough iron due to continuous bleeding
  • Need to raise the rate of iron stores quickly without the risk of blood transfusion

Side effects and complications of iron infusion/

  • temporary changes in the way you taste food and drinks
  • headaches
  • nausea 
  • vomiting
  • muscle pain
  • joint pain
