Can we use iron supplements to increase haemoglobin levels? How safe are these supplements? My daughter has continuous periods with spotting due to which her blood levels are changing. To keep up the haemoglobin levels, can we use iron supplements?

Yes taking iron supplements is safe if her hb levels are below 10. Advice her to take the iron tablets in the morning and on empty stomach. And incase she suffers from constipation , then she can take the tablet after meal.
Next Steps
Take iron rich foods too.
