Abstract

Anemia is a common medical disorder affecting a lot of women in pregnancy in the developing countries. Daily oral iron supplementation during pregnancy reduces the prevalence of anemia. In the present study we have compared the hematological responses to oral iron therapy using the formulation of iron poly maltose complex in anemic and normal pregnant women. The haemoglobin (Hb) level and other blood parameters were studied in anemic and non-anemic pregnant women both before and after oral iron therapy. Hemoglobin, iron indicators improved significantly with oral iron therapy and appear to have good compliance and efficacy. This helps us to assess the varied comparative responses in both the categories. The study will be indicative about the rational use of iron in iron deficiency anemia.

Key words: Anemia; blood; hemoglobin; deficiency.
