Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bizfer-XT® tablets (containing Ferrous Bisglycinate 60 mg, Zinc Bisglycinate 15 mg, Folic Acid 1 mg, and Methylcobalamin 500 mcg) in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adult women. The study will enroll non-pregnant, non-lactating female subjects aged 18 to 40 years who have a confirmed diagnosis of IDA, defined by hemoglobin levels between 8–11.9 g/dL, serum ferritin levels less than 30 ng/mL, and transferrin saturation less than 20%. Eligible subjects will receive one Bizfer-XT® tablet daily for a total duration of 8 weeks. Study visits will occur at baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28 ± 2), and Week 8 (Day 56 ± 2). The primary objective is to assess the mean change in hemoglobin levels from baseline to Week 8. Secondary objectives include evaluation of changes in serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, along with the assessment of safety and tolerability of the study medication. The results of this study aim to support the clinical utility of Bizfer-XT® in managing iron deficiency anemia among women of reproductive age
