Hello I have posted on this a few times but now it’s been 4 months since I was told to start taking ferrous sulphate tablets by my GP. I was feeling a bit grotty and my hair has thinned horribly. He told me to take 1 ferrous sulphate tablet a day but I read that won’t be enough so I’m taking 2 (pack says you can take up to 3). All other symptoms largely disappeared thankfully, but hair loss persists and looks so awful. I was hoping to have seen a change by now!
I was thinking of going up to 3 tablets a day - can anyone who used ferrous sulphate for low ferritin and who successfully recovered their hair, tell me what dosage you took? I don’t want to wait extra months just because I’m not taking enough. Levels started at 13 and GP won’t test again until 6 months are up. I’m getting desperate for things to get better quickly! Thank you
