IRON profile is low
My mother is a heart patient, and her iron profile is low: Iron - 56.60, TIBC - 362.89, Transferrin Saturation - 15.60%. Recently, she started taking calcium medicine (Cipcal 500). I just want to confirm whether she can take the Orofer XT tablet for iron along with the calcium medicine. Last year, the doctor also suggested this medicine for low iron.
