Results:- Mean Hbrised from 7.9-11.5 after 8 weeks of iron infusion therapy.A significant rise in serum ferritin values is noted.Other parameters including Serum Iron,TIBC,Reticulocyte Count and MCV were also improved significantly without any Adverse drug reactions. Conclusion:- Intravenous iron sucrose therapy was effective in measuring Hb,S.Ferritin and other hematological parameters in pregnant women with moderate anemia.
