If your haemoglobin is still only 7 g/dL despite taking iron supplements, it means your body is either not absorbing the iron well, the dose is too low, or there may be another underlying cause. Please see your doctor soon, because a haemoglobin level of 7 can cause weakness, breathlessness, and may require faster treatment.
