Iron supplements for older adults after stomach bleeding
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving iron supplements to older adults who recently had a non-variceal stomach or intestinal bleed helps bring their blood counts back to normal. You would receive iron either through a vein or as a pill, and the study compares how well they work.
