Hi,
If you are not more deficient of iron, Iron tablet will give good result.
Take regular iron tablet for about 2-3 months.
Along with anemia go for test to rule out vitamin B12 deficiency as well.
Take high iron containing food and green veggies.
Treat the cause of having anemia like excessive period, worm infestation etc.
Ok and take care.
