    Abstract

    Anaemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. The group with the greatest number of individuals affected being pregnant women (41.8%). Menstrual blood loss, pregnancy and delivery are the main causes of anaemia in reproductive-age women. Anaemia is an important cause of maternal mortality. Complaints like lethargy, easy fatigability, dizziness, lactation failure, post-partum depression are not unusual findings in patients with postpartum anaemia (PPA). It is estimated that 20–40% of maternal deaths in India are due to anaemia. Aims: To find out and compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose and oral ferrous sulfate in improving haemoglobin concentration in iron deficiency anaemia during post partum period. Materials and Methods: The present study was a Hospital based study in which prospective, comperative observation study. This Study was conducted from 18 months at Department of Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Chittaranjan Seva Sadan College of Obs. Gnae. And Child Health, 37, S.P Mukherjee Road, Kolkata -700026. Result: showed that the mean level of Ferritin of the patients in Intravenous Group was significantly higher than that of the patients in Oral Group (p<0.0001). Conclusion: In this present study Ferric carboxymaltose produced significantly greater and sustained increases in Hb and Ferric carboxymaltose was superior to oral iron in improving iron stores, as measured by ferritin.
