Prescribed Medications
Some prescribed medications can help restore RBC levels or treat underlying illnesses that cause anemia. These include:
– Anti-parasitic medication: Doxycycline, primaquine, quinine, praziquantel, and chloroquine can treat schistosomiasis or malaria, which makes you more prone to anemia.
– Antibiotics: Anemia can be caused by a bacterial infection. In this case, antibiotics are an effective option to treat the condition. They can be taken intravenously or orally.
– Vitamin B12: In addition to supplements, vitamin B12 can also be injected. You might need to do this on a regular schedule to prevent or treat pernicious anemia. [8]
