Postpartum Haemorrhage
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of IV high single dose infusion of iron isomaltoside 1000 to standard medical care in women with PPH evaluated as physical fatigue.
Interventions
A single dose of 1200 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 is given. The dose is diluted in 100 ml 0.9 % sodium chloride and given over approximately 15 min.
OTHERStandard medical Care
Standard medical Care is most often to recommend women with PPH to continue oral iron supplementation as recommended during pregnancy or to advise the subject to take 100 mg oral iron 1-2 times a day

Exclusion criteria
1. Women aged \< 18 years 2. Multiple births 3. Peripartum RBC transfusion 4. Known iron overload or disturbances in utilisation of iron (e.g. haemochromatosis and haemosiderosis) 5. Known hypersensitivity to parenteral iron or any excipients in the investigational drug products 6. Women with a history of active asthma within the last 5 years or a history of multiple allergies 7. Known decompensated liver cirrhosis and active hepatitis 8.

Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may cause the patient to be unsuitable for completion of the study or place the patient at potential risk from being in the study. For example, a malignancy, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable ischaemic heart disease or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
