Objective: The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety profile of oral iron formulations in iron deficiency anemia.

Methods: A cross sectional study in patients with anemia receiving oral ferric ammonium citrate, folic acid, vitamin B12and iron hydroxide respectively was included. The patients were followed up once in 0 day, end of week, 1 month, for 3 months and observed for hematological improvement and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Total 350 anemic patient were included in the study.

Results: The data analyzed in 185 patients received ferric ammonium citrate, folic acid, 165 received, iron hydroxide,folic acid, vitamin B12 have significantly improved mean hemoglobin and anemia indices at the end of study, however, there was no significant differences between the groups when compared. “All four formulations showed similar ADR profile, there was no significant difference in adverse reactions.’’

Conclusion: Ferric ammonium citrate can be considered as best cost-effective choice for treatment of irons deficiency anemia.
