Talk to Gynecologist on Iron Deficiency Anemia

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Female, 31 years old, Lahore

My question is regarding iron deficiency anemia. I am almost 20 weeks pregnant. My HB level is 8.5 whereas my serum ferittin is 5.6. Doctor recommended me feroxyma injection. They are quite expensive. Can you please recommend me some cheaper alternative. Will venofer be safe as it's substitute?

ferroxyma is almost 2500 Rs and its counterpart is ferrinject which is almost 6000. they increase hb to a greater extent as compared to venofer . Venofer is absolutely ok and cheaper but its repeated doses wil be needed to attain the same Hb rise . Take care

No need of i/v iron at this gestational age with 8.5 Hb you take oral iron regularly like Tab Ferrous sulphate twice daily
