Diet is the rich source, try to take more of iron, jaggery, pomegranate, beetroot, green leafy vegetables etc. Instead of injections take iron, folic acid supplements.

Dear Lybrate user,
If you have Thalassemia, iron sucrose should not be taken. Consult Physician/ Hematologist regarding this. Various daals (specially sabut) and milk (and milk products) are good sources of protein.

As your Hb is too low you need injection and ther are other injections also and it is not known to cause the symptoms you said. You may have anxiety while taking IV

Actually either injection or tablet if taken alone will not help.
they will improve the condition and then will. come back to same state.
As the cause of low iron is not only lack of supply.
Consult and take proper homeopathic treatment for permanent solution.

Asked for male, 27 years old from Bangalore

Hi. Can we give 5 orofer s injections at a time in 1 unit NS. Orofer 1 ampoule contains 100 mg/5 ml of iron sucrose. So instead of giving orofer fcm which contains 500 mg/10 ml, can we replace it with 5 ampoules of orofer s. Thanks.

Dr. Jatin Soni

Follow your ongoing doctor advice and if he asks for orofer fcm there is high chance for increasing the hb without any complications and it is one of the safest medication to give intravenously

You are taking iron and calcium supplements which are necessary in pregnancy. If you are feeling continuously thirsty, get your blood sugars tested.

Hi
Micronized progesterone and l arginine is prescribed only if required due to some problem. Otherwise only calcium and iron are required. Also ultrasound shows dating variability. It is ok.
