Firstly try to improve your hemoglobin with diet which consists of eggs,jaggery,peanuts,lemonjuice,leafy greens.
Avoid tea/coffee
Take tablet livogen only if your hemoglobin is less than 10.
After food ,for 4 weeks.once daily will be sufficient
Please add tablet bplex forte after lunch to your daily intake list of medicines.
Since it is difficult to maintain the hemoglobin
for women,because of menstrual cycles,proper intake (100 mg)of dietary iron per day is recommended.
