Brief Summary   Moderate to severe Iron deficiency anemia is prevalent in women following childbirth especially in resource poor countries.Any method to treat IDA is relevant from socio-economic point of view. This study aims to find out the efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose in improving haemoglobin and other parameters in comparison to oral iron in postpartum anemic women.
