| Summary: | Ema Kristin. Mohammad Hakimi, Sri Kadarsih Soejono, Lukman Hakim -Serum iron level after ingestion of repeated
dose of iron shortly after and 2 hours after meal
Background: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women is estimated to be higher than nonpregnant
women. Ironsupplementation program has been proven clinicallyto improvethe hemoglobin (Hb)level of
pregnant women. The absorption of iron is affected by food, therefore iron has to be given 2 hours after meal.
However, in practice, iron was given shortly after meal. The physiologicalchange in pregnant women affects drug
absorption, distribution, and eliminationphases.
Objective: To understand serum iron level after ingestion of repeated dose of iron shortly after and 2 hours after
meal for 12 weeks in trimester 2 pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia.
Method: The research design was a phase IIclinical trial. Subjects were 24 trimester 2 pregnant women with iron
deficiency anemia, classified into two groups, who were treated as follows: The first group was consisted of 12
women with irondeficiency anemia, treated with twice-a-day ferrous sulphate tablet @300 mg orally,given shortly
after meal for 12 weeks |
