Abstract | Introduction: Anemia is most common morbidity in pregnancy and micronutrient deficiency is its most common cause in India. Objective: It is to assess the beneficiary effects as well as side effects of single parenteral administration of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), Vitamin B12, and folic acid as treatment of severe anemia during pregnancy.
