Iron deficiency anemia is an anemia caused by reduced intake or excessive loss of iron in the body. Multi-element tablets contain iron, but in small amounts, so they can theoretically treat it, but the effect is slow. It can be used as an option to prevent iron deficiency anemia.
1. The first priority in treating iron deficiency anemia is to treat the cause. For example, common causes are insufficient iron intake (picky eating, partiality, meat eating less), excessive loss (such as more menstruation, peptic ulcer chronic blood loss, peptic tumor chronic blood loss, hemorrhoids, etc.), and timely correction of the above causes in order to fundamentally treat iron deficiency anemia.
2. Iron supplementation therapy: clinically, commonly used iron supplementation drugs include polysaccharide iron complex, ferrous succinate tablets, dextrose iron oral solution, etc. If stomach pain, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other intolerance of oral iron supplementation occur after taking the drugs, iron can be infused, such as iron sucrose injection. Iron supplementation with appropriate vitamin C can help iron absorption.
3. Children or teenagers during the growth period, pregnant or lactating women, etc., the demand for iron increases, appropriate increase in diet rich in hematopoietic raw materials, such as lean meat containing protein, iron, etc., tomatoes containing vitamin B ₁ ₂, folic acid, etc., dragon fruit, etc., can be effective in preventing the occurrence of anemia.
Iron deficiency anemia has many causes and should be identified and treated for the cause. All the drugs mentioned above should be used in accordance with medical advice.
