Brief Answer:
Iron supplements
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Every pregnant woman should take Iron supplements along with Vit B12 and Folic acid up every day. Please ask your doctor about these.
Your wife can take Tab OROFER XT every day along with food. This improves Iron. The best and natural way of improving Iron in the body is to consume green leaves every day. She can have jaggery, honey, legumes and home cooked organ meat as well. Please remember milk and calcium will reduce Iron absorption so please leave a gap of 2 hours between milk and Iron medication.
Hope this helps.
