Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your question. I can understand your concern for your father.HE plus contains IRON and FOLIC acid which is prescribed in iron deficiency anemia. Without knowing the exact numbers on the complete blood count (CBC), it is difficult to comment. I guess he does have low RBC count and low hemoglobin for which he has been prescribed Iron and Folic acid. Do not worry. You can just have a look at the report and get back to us. We will be happy to help.  you can take your dad to a clinician and get your doubts cleared. He can correlate clinically and guide you. Hope this helps. Post any other question. We will be happy to help. Have a nice day. Regards.
