Oral iron supplementation with Feralgine ® in inflammatory bowel disease: a retrospective observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: Oral supplementation with Feralgine® induced a significant improvement in Hb levels, suggesting that in IBD patients with mild or moderate anemia, oral iron supplementation could be considered the first line therapy. We suggest further studies on larger cohorts to assess iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation improvement after this treatment. PMID: 30917629 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
