Iron pills or IV iron for anemia in late pregnancy
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat iron deficiency anemia in late pregnancy: taking chelated oral iron pills versus receiving intravenous (IV) iron sucrose. The goal is to see which treatment is more effective and safer for women who are 26 to 34 weeks pregnant.
