    According to the doctor's instructions, the anemia person takes iron and stops taking it after seeing the improvement or stabilization of the anemia. This is also a wrong approach. This will result in the recurrence of anemia. The correct way is to take iron to treat iron-deficiency anemia. After the anemia stabilizes, continue to take iron for 6 to 8 weeks to supplement the stored iron in the body.
