    There are different types of anemia that can be treated with various antianemic drugs. Iron salts like ferrous sulfate are used to treat iron-deficiency anemia caused by a lack of iron in the diet. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are used to treat anemias caused by deficiencies of these vitamins, which are necessary for red blood cell formation. Antianemic drugs work by increasing red blood cell count or the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin to address the tissue oxygen deficiencies associated with different types of anemia.

    Antianemic drug, any drug that increases the number of red blood cells or

    the amount of hemoglobin (an oxygen-carrying protein) in the blood,


    deficiencies of which characterize the disorder known as anemia. The red
    cell and hemoglobin reductions associated with anemia result in tissue
    oxygen deficiencies that can lead to symptoms such as fainting, dizziness,
    and shortness of breath.
    There are different types of anemia, and thus there exists a variety of
    antianemic agents. Iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, are used to treat iron-
    deficiency anemia, which occurs when the body is deficient in iron, an
    essential component of hemoglobin. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are used to
    treat folic acid deficiency anemia and pernicious anemia, which occur
    because of a lack of these vitamins. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are
    necessary for red blood cell formation.

    Indications:
    There are many indications of anti anemics some are as follows.
     Treatment of anemia.
     Iron deficiency anemia, blood loss related to pregnancy or GI
    bleeding (NSAIDs), hookworm infestation, or excess coffee
     Iron poisoning. Used for treating both acute iron intoxication and
    in patients with secondary iron overload from multiple
    transfusions.
     Deferoxamine plus hemodialysis may also be useful in treatment
    of aluminum toxicity in renal failure. (It is not indicated for the
    treatment of primary hemochromatosis, since phlebotomy is the
    method of choice for removing excess iron in this disorder.)
    Side Effects:
    There are many side effects of anti anemics some are as follows.
    1. A rapid increase in hematocrit & hemoglobin may cause
    hypertension & thrombotic complications. These can be
    minimized by raising the hematocrit slowly and treating the
    hypertension.
    2. Therapeutic doses - nausea, upper abdominal pain, constipation
    or diarrhea
    3. Iron overdose (1-2 g) can lead to circulatory collapse and death.
    Non-intentional iron overdose has been a leading cause of fatal
    poisoning in children <6 years old. Keep out of reach of children.
    4. Iron overdose can be treated by gastric lavage with a phosphate
    solution and deferoxamine (iron chelator).
