Take tablet ferrous sulphate

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Low ferritin levels with tiredness and fatigue feeling with normal haemoglobin level indicate that you are suffering from iron deficiency anaemia.

I will advise you to take tablet ferrous sulphate two or three times a day after food with your doctors advise.
