A doctor prescribed 2 Chela-Ferr Forte capsules a day. Each capsule contains 28mg of iron, 200% of the RDA. Is that okay? Am I harming other organs?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
The recommended daily allowance (RDA) determines the amount of a micronutrient that needs to be consumed by a normal person. Therapeutic dosages naturally exceed the RDA, because when a person has a deficiency in a micronutrient, logically, larger amounts are needed in order to bring up the blood level of this micronutrient and maintain within the normal range.
