@nipa There is no role of iron supplements here. High-dose oral vitamin B12 supplementation may be an effective option for some people with pernicious anemia as well. In people with vitamin B12 deficiency anemia where the body can absorb vitamin B12, oral vitamin B12 supplementation and diet adjustments may be an effective treatment.
