However, whether 29 mg is enough to correct anemia depends on your Hb,
ferritin, transferrin saturation, severity of deficiency, menstrual blood loss, and the actual elemental-iron content of your tablet. I would not automatically increase the dose without reviewing your blood reports.
☆ For a sensitive stomach, you can :-
● Take the supplement on alternate days initially.
● Take it with a small amount of food if an empty stomach causes significant nausea, although absorption may be somewhat lower.
● Keep tea/coffee,
calcium supplements and dairy away from the iron dose.
●
Vitamin C–containing food alongside the supplement can support absorption.
● Recheck CBC/Hb and ferritin after about 3–4 weeks to assess response. If Hb/ferritin are not improving adequately, the dose, adherence, absorption, ongoing blood loss, or the diagnosis needs to be reassessed.
