I had today blood test and the Ferro (41 normal is 60 - 160 μg/dL) and the hematocrit (33. normal is 40-52%) .
The doctor recommended that I take ferro for two months he said the ferro do not affect the INR
Ιs anyone taking ferro for treatment or does anyone know anything ?
 
I was really quite anemic after my surgery. So I took Iron supplements for quite some time to. Iron went up rather slowly so kept on taking them for a bit longer than two months, never a problem with my INR. Can’t remember if it was written on the box but I think taking them in the morning whilst avoiding Tea, Coffee or Milk (just around that time) is best for the uptake. At the same time you can have a look what foods contain iron, some of those are taken up more efficiently by the body, like chicken and beef but also several types of beans.
 
Same here. Mine was 7, but I became anemic due to heavy blood loss during my period from warfarin. Iron supplements did not affect my Inr.
