Iron pills or IV iron for anemia in late pregnancy
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving iron to pregnant women with anemia after 34 weeks of pregnancy: iron pills taken by mouth or iron given through a vein (IV). The goal is to see which method works better to raise hemoglobin levels and improve health for both mother and baby.

This early study tests whether Monoferric, an IV iron medicine, safely and effectively treats iron deficiency during pregnancy when iron by mouth hasn’t worked or isn’t suitable. It may help you raise iron levels and improve anemia while using care your team already recommends.
This trial tests a medication called ferric citrate to treat moderate to severe iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy. If you qualify, you would take the study pill and have regular check-ups to see if it helps raise your iron levels safely.
