Improvement in symptoms may be noticed within a few weeks; however, it is important to continue taking the capsules as directed by a healthcare professional to fully replenish iron stores.
Can I take Galfer every day?
Yes, Galfer is typically taken daily as prescribed by a healthcare professional for the prevention or treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia.
Is it suitable for vegetarians?
