I am at a standstill as to whether this drug helps any at all. I weaned myself off for a period of 6 months, my throat no l... View full comment

I take iron supplements for my anemia. It helps with the curious bruising I used to get because of the iron deficiency. I don't bruise as easily anymore so I think it's been working.
