Will taking iron pills and floradix raise my hemoglobin enough in 5 days?

If your hematocrit is low, oral medications will not produce a sufficient improvement in five days. Recently, we have had to delay two cases for this reason.  It can take well over a month for adequate improvement. An important consideration is the reason for the blood value-ie, internal bleeding, personal norm, uterine fibroids, etc. if any medical conditions are involved, they should be treated and a hematologist consulted for medical clearance. Best wishes.

A rise in hemoglobin typically take 8-12 weeks to occur. Understand that the 11 requirement is for your own safety and no elective surgery is worth taking unnecessary risks. Keep taking your iron and try to be patient.
