Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Iron deficiency anemia is common among women of childbearing age and infants. Patients may experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, dry hair, and brittle nails. Once iron deficiency anemia is confirmed, oral ferrous bisglycinate or other iron-rich medications can be taken after meals. When taking iron supplements, avoid consuming cereals, tea, and similar items, as they can impair iron absorption. For patients who cannot tolerate oral medication, intramuscular injection of iron dextran is an alternative option.
