I take prescribed iron twice a day and take it with vit c enriched drinks. Juice v8 etc. I also have been eating things that are suppose to help. What else can I do to get my level up
Hello, If you've been trying to replenish iron stores by mouth without success, then intravenous iron can be a fast solution, although it is not usually recommended for safety reasons. It could cause serious allergic reactions. The most important issue is that you should be certain about the reason that your iron is low. You haven't mentioned your age and sex. Both are essential information regarding low iron causes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
