Our doctor’s opinion about anemia

As part of its quality approach, Passeportsanté.net invites you to discover the opinion of a health professional. Dr Jacques Allard, general practitioner, gives you his opinion on theanemia :

I only have one piece of advice: if you feel tired and think you have anemia, see your doctor. Above all, don’t try to treat yourself with iron supplements or multivitamins that contain iron. This could mask a much more serious illness and delay diagnosis.

There are many causes of anemia and it is very important to know which one is causing your symptoms before starting treatment.

Dr Jacques Allard, MD, FCMFC
