Abstract
Objectives: Study of safety and efficacy of intravenous Ferric Carboxy Maltose in Iron deficiency anaemia during 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy4,5 . • Background and objectives: Iron deficiency is common among women of childbearing age in both the developed and developing countries.Intravenous Ferric carboxy maltose (FCM) is a novel molecule which can be safely administered upto 1000mg in single dose with no significant adverse effects. • Method :A hospital based prospective study included 53 antenatal women of >=24 to <=34 weeks gestation with documented iron deficiency anaemia, ferric carboxy maltose was administered and improvement in hemoglobin was assessed after 3 weeks.Safety was also assessed during study. • Result : There was a significant improvement in hemoglobin over a period of 3 weeks from mean Hb 7.7 to Hb 9.6 . No serious adverse effects were noted in this study. 6,7 • Conclusion :Intravenous FCM is effective in treatment of iron deficiency anaemia without significant adverse effects in pregnancy in 2nd and 3rd trimester.
