Brief summary
Pregnant women with iron deficiency (ferritin <15 ug/l) and iron deficiency anemia with pregnancy (haemoglobin less than 10 gm/dl (7-10 gm/dl mild to moderate) will be included in this study after informed consent. Diagnosis of iron deficiency based on serum ferritin (ug/l) and iron deficiency anemia based on; serum ferritin (ug/l), hemoglobin concentration (gm/dl), red blood cells-mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and hemoglobin (MCH). Studied women will be treated with the ferric hydroxide-polymaltose complex tablets for correction of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia for 3 months. The pre-treatment ferritin, hemoglobin, red blood cells red blood cells-mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and hemoglobin (MCH) will be compared by the 3 months` post-treatment values to evaluate the efficacy of ferric hydroxide-polymaltose complex tablets in treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia with pregnancy in the same group of women.

Pregnant women with iron deficiency (ferritin <15 ug/l) and iron deficiency anemia with pregnancy (haemoglobin less than 10 gm/dl (7-10 gm/dl mild to moderate)) will be included in this study after informed consent. Diagnosis of iron deficiency based on serum ferritin (ug/l) and iron deficiency anemia based on; serum ferritin (ug/l), hemoglobin concentration (gm/dl), red blood cells-mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and hemoglobin (MCH). Studied women will be treated with the (Ferose tablets) ferric hydroxide-polymaltose complex tablets (3 times daily) for correction of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia for 3 months. Each tablet of Ferose contains 100 mg of ferric hydroxide-polymaltose complex. The adherence to the treatment will be checked by the empty tablet package and laboratory test to check the efficacy of the iron treatment in treating iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia using the laboratory parameters; serum ferritin (ug/l), hemoglobin concentration (gm/dl), red blood cells-mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and hemoglobin (MCH). The pre-treatment ferritin, hemoglobin, red blood cells red blood cells-mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and hemoglobin (MCH) will be compared by the 3 months` post-treatment values to evaluate the efficacy of ferric hydroxide-polymaltose complex tablets in treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia with pregnancy in the same study group of women.
