nothing to do with apo-triazide

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Apo-triazide does not cause a drop in hemoglobin, I suggest you to get evaluated for the drop in hemoglobin. I recommend getting the following tests done

1. Urine routine
2. stool for occult blood
3. Vit b12
4. chest x Ray
5. peripheral smear

This will tell us why the hemoglobin dropped. I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
