I am slightly anemic and have been for many, many years. Also, recently been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. My doctor would like me to take an iron supplement to combat the iron deficiency. Can you recommend and iron supplement that would help my condition, that is, both of them if that is possible at all? Thank you, veronica YYYY@YYYY
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Yes, you should definitely start iron supplements as there are no harms in starting it. There are two types of iron replacement therapy.1. Oral2. Injectables oral therapy tablet and syrup forms are available. In injectable therapy either blood transfusion or iron sucrose transfusion is there. So if your He is too low, and you want quick response than you should start Injectables. And if your He is not much lower than start oral supplements.
