As this is a public forum medications cannot be prescribed here. I would advise you to check your hemoglobin and iron parameters prior to starting the supplement. Also have iron rich food in your diet Increase the intake of iron-rich foods (eggs, spinach, artichokes, beans, lean meats, and seafood) and foods rich in cofactors (such as vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C) important for maintaining normal hemoglobin levels, such foods include fish, vegetables, nuts, cereals, peas, and citrus fruits.
