Efficacious Iron for Iron Deficiency Anemia in Adults Aged ≥18 Years

An Interventional, Single-Center, Randomized, Unblinded, Parallel-Group, Three-Arm Study to Investigate the Superiority of 12 Weeks of Oral Treatment With Ferrous Ascorbate (EBMfer) or Ferrous Fumarate (Eurofer) as Compared to Polysaccharide Iron (FeraMAX) in Hemoglobin Level Changes in Adults Aged 18 and Above With Iron Deficiency Anemia (EFFICACIOUS IRON)

Summary

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a widespread condition affecting many people globally. Despite the many cases of IDA, there are few studies that compare the effectiveness of different types of iron supplements with a greater emphasis on the cost of supplements and their tolerability. This study aims to conduct a comparison between different iron supplements to determine the superiority of the iron supplements Ferrous Ascorbate (EBMfer) and Ferrous Fumarate (Eurofer) over polysaccharide iron (FeraMax). This comparison will be conducted by determining the change in hemoglobin levels for participants in this trial over a 3-month period.
