Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Your mothers bleeding ulcers have to be treated because if not treated properly the bleeding will continue and her hemoglobin will continue to fall. So first priority is to treat her ulcers as most of the medications for ulcer interfere with iron supplements. But if the hemoglobin continues to fall she can be given intramuscular iron injections or iron through i.v. Chat Doctor.  Regards
