Anaemia, often caused by a deficiency in red blood cells or haemoglobin, is a common condition affecting many people, especially women. Symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath and difficulty concentrating may indicate anaemia, commonly linked to low iron levels and sometimes low B12 or folate.
Your community pharmacist can provide convenient screenings to assess your haemoglobin levels, helping to detect anaemia and offer guidance on the next steps. If you’re experiencing symptoms such as tiredness or a rapid heartbeat, a test at your local pharmacy is an easy first step toward timely support and care.
Screening for anaemia is crucial to identify the root cause and prevent recurrence.
