Abstract

 Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) affects nearly two thirds of the pregnant women in developing countries. It is associated with 20 percent of all maternal deaths and nine times higher risk of perinatal mortality. In India, the National Nutritional Anaemia Control Programme (NNACP) was initiated in 1970 to provide free iron-folic acid supplementation to all pregnant women. But NFHS-III, 2005-06 has reported a rise in prevalence of IDA. Our study compares the efficacy of oral Iron Folate with jaggery, with Oral iron Folate alone and IV iron sucrose complex (ISC) for treatment of IDA of pregnancy to find the most suitable therapy which can provide maximum benefit to the patient in minimum cost and with minimum side effects.
