Iron Supplements (Prescription Strength)

Prescription iron supplements provide elemental iron to correct iron deficiency and replenish iron stores needed for hemoglobin production. They are used for iron-deficiency anemia and related states of low iron, which can cause fatigue, pallor, reduced exercise tolerance, and impaired cognitive function.
