You are right. Taking iron tabs for such a long time is not advisable. Please check your iron level and take homeopathic treatment if necessary. Homeopathy has very effective treatment for your problem. No side effects. Please take homeopathic medicine, preliminary dose, ferrum phos 6x once daily in the morning for 5 days. Consult me through Lybrate by booking online consultation-(commencing from text consult rs 149) for further more comprehensive prescription and treatment.

Hi lybrate-user, taking autrin for 1 year is not recommended as excessive iron accumulation in the body can lead to iron overload. If your anemia has resolved then you will have to stop iron supplements. But if you are still anemic despite taking autrin for 1 year then the drug wasn't absorbed by your body. Shelcal can be continued without any harm.

Hello dear, the medications you are taking are supplementation, it seems you might be suffering from any malabsorption syndrome or deficiency thats why you have been advised for supplements. Once there is a final diagnosis you can definitely continue the supplements for a long time. I personally will advise you to get a checkup or consultancy every 6 months atleast so that timely medical treatment can be done. Hope I have briefly answered your query. Kindly do not self medicate, as it might be harmful for you. Take a balanced diet and adequate fluid intake. Practice relaxation and meditation techniques. In case you have more doubts or queries, please book a private / online consultation (hp0d9a is my code) so that we can discuss in detail your problems and you can feel relieved after finding your answers. Medicine can not be advised for open question, for medicine contact on private consultation. Best wishes stay safe stay healthy.
