简要总结
Iron deficiency anemia stands out as the predominant cause of anemia globally. Individuals affected by this condition frequently experience non-specific symptoms like fatigue and dyspnea on exertion and it can significantly impact daily activities of individual. Approximately 30% of the global population is affected by anemia, and half of these cases are attributed to iron deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when iron losses or physiological requirements exceed absorption. This study will compare the effectiveness of homoeopathic individualized medicine and Ferrum Phosphoricum-3X in the management of Iron deficiency anemia. 60 patients will be enrolled and will be categorized into two groups of 30 patients each. One group will receive Ferrum Phosphoricum-3X while the other will be given homoeopathic individualized medicine based on the totality of symptoms. Each patient will be evaluated regularly. The result will be assessed through the level of hemoglobin and serum ferritin.
