Abstract

Anaemia is defined as reduction in circulating haemoglobin massbelow the critical level and it is the most prevalent haematologicaldisorder that may occur in pregnancy5. Anaemia is an indirect cause ofdeath. About 50% of pregnant women worldwide suffer from anaemia.Anaemia is commonly due to dietary deficiency (nutrition, iron, folicacid, iodine and other micro nutrients) or infections8. Anaemia is aglobal health issue that has significant consequences for the individualhealth and socio-economic development. The most common cause ofanaemia in developing nation is “Iron Deficiency”9. In addition, thereis marked demand of extra iron during pregnancy specially in thesecond half. Even an adequate diet can not provide the extra iron thusresult in iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy. In modern medicine,ferrous gluconate, ferrous fumarate or ferrous succinate is used to correct anaemia.Drawbacks of ferrous gluconate, ferrous fumarate or ferrous succinate are intolerance,epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, dirrhoea or constipation, unpredictable absorption rate. Foravoiding these drawbacks I selected “Tintidimandooram” for Garbhini pandu15.
