Official title
Phase 3 Study of the Prevention of Postpartum Anemia by Three Different Strategies
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Anemia is common among low-income women after they have given birth. Anemia, or low hemoglobin in the blood cells, is usually caused by not having enough iron. Blood cells usually carry oxygen to other parts of the body. Without enough hemoglobin, the ability of blood cells to carry oxygen is decreased. Memory and work may be impaired. The purpose of this study is to evaluate three methods of giving iron to prevent anemia among low-income women after they have given birth.
