Iron deficiency
Hello my iron serum level is 30.9 and my trasferrin saturation is 8.15 %. I have been prescribed to take orafer xt for one month and magdep tablets for two weeks to help with fatigue with a gap of 2 hours. Its been more two weeks but I do not see much difference in my symptoms then my doctor asked me to take it every other day instead of everyday but its not helping either. Also, causes lot of indigestion. Shall I switch to a better form of iron or continue taking orafer xt everyday? Also, I think one month of dosage will not be enough for my iron deficiency. I am getting horrible symptoms due to the deficiency but my doctor is not taking me seriously. Please advise
