Brief Answer:
Gall stone has no direct relation with the intake of levozen.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to health care magic,

Livogen (contains iron,folic acid,vitamin B complex etc) is helpful only when you are deficient in iron means it is helpful to rise the blood haemoglobin level when it is due to iron deficiency.(iron deficiency anaemia)

The rise of haemoglobin after tablets varies from individual to individual. In general we expect about 1 to 1.5 gm rise per month. Along with tablets diet also plays a very important role. In case of iron deficiency green leafy vegetables are good and are of much help.

The cause of gall stone formation has totally different and multiple factor is involved in that but has no direct relation with the intake of levozen.

Hope this information will help.
