Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, there have been new types of iron preparations for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia at home and abroad. Ferric citrate is used for iron-deficiency anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease while ferric maltol is used for iron-deficiency anemia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and patients who do not respond to other oral iron preparations. New intravenous irons are mainly high-dose iron preparations, such as ferumoxytol, iron isomaltoside, ferric carboxymaltose, which can rapidly improve the symptoms of anemia, and show more advantages in patients with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, inflammatory bowel disease. This article outlines the effectiveness and safety of iron formulations and the mechanism of iron supplementation at home and abroad in order to provide evidence-based evidence for safe and effective use of iron-deficiency anemia.

Key words: iron deficiency anemia, iron preparations, ferric maltol, evaluation of evidence-based pharmacy, safety, effectiveness
