4
If 200 -300mg elemental iron is consumed about 50 mg is absorbed
The propoion of iron absorbed reduces as hemoglobin improves
The reticulocyte count should begin to increase in two weeks and peak in 4 weeks -this suggests good response to treatment
The treatment should be discontinued immediately once hemoglobin normalizes to prevent side effects of iron
