Lightbulb Hello, Sue...

If your blood tests are still showing anemia, yes, do continue the iron.
Your doctor should tell you how long to continue it. Basically once you are
normal, there might be enough iron in the CVS product to keep you going.
If you are postmenopausal, and anemic, then I'd be concerned that you are
losing blood somewhere. Women with periods still, can often be anemic especially if they are "heavy" periods.

You are getting two sources of folic acid... so you should not need more.
Your supplements are basically good. However, if you are taking
prescription drugs, you may be depleting certain nutrients at a faster rate
that you take them in.

So if you want to list those for me, I can look them up for you.
