About
The prevalence of postpartum anemia is a great threat for maternal and infant health without timely and effective treatment. Oral iron therapy has been used for centuries as a treatment of anemia, however, it is noteworthy that treatment with oral iron might have a limited, and even a harmful role in some clinical scenarios. Ejiao compound is composed with donkey-hide glue, Ginseng, Codonopsis pilosula, prepared rhizome of rehmannia, and crab apple, which has been widely used in the treatment of various types of anemia in China for decades and might be a potentially effective therapy for postpartum anemia. Recently, studies involving animal subjects have helped shed light on its mechanism of action.
In this study, the investigators aimed to conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Ejiao compound comparing with oral iron in the treatment of mild postpartum anemia with or without iron deficiency.
