Hello,
First, it is important to understand what type of anemia you have.
Before prescribing iron, we should know:
• Hemoglobin level
• Serum
ferritin
• MCV/MCH values
• Any history of heavy periods
•
Thyroid status
If your hemoglobin is low due to iron deficiency, iron supplementation is usually necessary ..especially if Hb is significantly reduced. However, gastric irritation is common with certain iron tablets.
You may discuss with your physician about:
• Taking iron after food
• Switching to a better-tolerated formulation (like ferrous bisglycinate or slow-release form)
• Taking iron with
vitamin C for better absorption
• Avoid taking iron with
calcium at the same time
Regarding multivitamins:
At 35 years, important nutrients include:
• Iron (if deficient)
•
Vitamin B12
• Folate
•
Vitamin D
• Calcium (if dietary intake is low)
Duration usually depends on Hb and ferritin levels. Most iron deficiency cases require at least 3 months of correction plus 1–2 months maintenance.
At the same time, it is very important to identify the root cause:
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Poor dietary intake
• Malabsorption
• Chronic stress
Homeopathy can help improve:
• Absorption tendency
• Menstrual regulation (if heavy bleeding present)
• Fatigue and weakness
• Recurrence tendency
But it should be part of a structured treatment plan, not a replacement for necessary correction.

Health Tips
• Include iron-rich foods (beetroot, spinach, jaggery, dates, pomegranate, legumes)
• Take
vitamin C with iron
• Avoid tea/coffee within 1 hour of iron intake
Proper correction now prevents long-term fatigue and hair fall issues.
Take care.
