First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether an iron injection works better than iron pills for treating anemia in 200 new mothers within 10 days of giving birth. Participants had mild to moderate anemia and were randomly assigned to receive either a single injection of ferric carboxymaltose or oral iron tablets twice daily for 6 weeks. The main goal was to compare increases in hemoglobin levels at 4 and 6 weeks, along with safety and side effects.
