Ann Hematol: Daily oral iron supplementation versus alternate-day therapy in women of reproductive age with iron deficiency anemia

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is considered the most common cause of anemia in the world

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is considered the most common cause of anemia in the world

In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of daily and every other day oral iron replacement therapy for iron-deficiency anemia in women of reproductive age

Figure: Trends of hemoglobin (A), ferritin (B) and heparin (C) values ​​in groups 1 and 2

After 2 months of oral iron treatment, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, and transferrin saturation were significantly improved in both groups

After 2 months of oral iron treatment, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, and transferrin saturation were significantly improved in both groups

Current guidelines for the treatment of iron defense recommend administration of daily divided doses of iron to increase absorption
