Summary

This study looks at whether taking an iron pill every other day works as well as taking one every day for pregnant people with iron-deficiency anemia. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see if both schedules can raise hemoglobin and ferritin levels, while possibly reducing side effects.
