Brief Summary  
The present research is an attempt to clinically validate the effectiveness of Iron supplement with different doses in pregnant patients suffering from iron deficiency anemia (IDA). With the present research, we can apply the knowledge from previous studies and clinical trials to address important medical needs in pregnant IDA to improve effectiveness and reduce the anticipated side effects with better compliance in improving IDA status. We can utilize these outcomes to develop a strategy for treating IDA in pregnant females in a more appropriate and assured way.
