HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
He would need to take for as long as his Hb remains low.
At his age, he would need through investigations to determine the source of his low hb.
This should include stool analysis for occult (hidden blood), blood tests and possible imaging of at least the gastrointestinal tract.
The cause of the low Hb should be determined so that appropriate treatment can be started.
I hope this helps
