How Long Does Iron Deficiency Take To Get To Normal?

Hi,
Below are my bloodwork result: HB 10.5, HCT 35, MCV 75, MCH 23, MCHC 28, RDW 17, WBC 3.8, Serum Iron 4.2, Ferritin 4, Transferrin 3.52, TIBC 78 & Saturation 5%.
My Dr said that I'm having iron deficiency anemia. Currently on iron tablet supplement once daily. How long will it takes for the iron to return to normal? Any further advice is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you should start with oral iron therapy. Tab Livozen Z is the good treatment tablet you should initially started with two tablet than with the one once the haemoglobin increases above 12 gm. Continue the treatment for additional 3 months to replenish the load further.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
