    The elemental iron supplement is taken orally 1 to 2 mg/kg daily, taken between meals, and taken orally in 2 to 3 times. Vitamin C can be taken orally at the same time to promote iron absorption. Oral iron may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, black stool color, and diarrhea. When the above situation occurs, the method of intermittent iron supplementation can be used. After the side effects are alleviated, it can be gradually increased to the usual amount. Taking iron during meals can relieve gastrointestinal side effects. The Hb value began to increase after 2 weeks of iron supplementation. After 4 weeks, the Hb value should increase by 10 to 20 g/L and above, and it is considered effective.
