Brief Summary   Postpartum anemia is a common problem throughout the world. Prevalance of anemia in Indian mother is 80-90%. 50% of pregnant woman is affected by anemia globally. There are many treatment options for iron deficiency anemia ; Oral iron therapy is most commonly used, but due to its side effects and patients noncompliance, parenteral iron is also used nowadays.
 A single center, open label,randomized , controlled , parallel group  phase 4 study will be conducted in women with postpartum anemia in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rajagiri Hospital,Aluva,Kerala, which is a tertiary care centre .Our aim is to compare the efficacy  and saftey of intravenous and oral iron in treatment of iron deficiency anemia during postpartum period. 80 woman with hemoglobin level between 8-10 mg/dl  36-48 hours after delivery will be included in the study. Study popullation will be allocated in to two groups , Group A and Group B  by computer based simple randomization .Group A will be treated with intravenous  ferric carboxy maltose and Group B will be treated witrh ferrous fumarate 152mg twice daily for 6 weeks. side effects will be monitored, hemoglobin level estimated 2 weeks and 6 weeks after delivery. The outcome of the two groups will be compared, statistically analysed and documented.
