Relating to or promoting the formation of blood, especially substances that help treat anemia.
From haematin + -ic (suffix meaning 'relating to'). Used medically since the 1800s to describe treatments that boost blood cell production.
Haematinic drugs are like fertilizer for your bone marrow—they encourage your body to make more red blood cells, which is why doctors prescribe them to patients whose blood can't carry enough oxygen.
