A Controlled Comparative Clinical Study of Lohamritam in the Management of Pandu (w.s.r. to Iron Deficiency Anaemia)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Pandu is a pitta dominant tridoshaja disorder affecting the whole body. Iron deficiency anemia can result from inadequate iron intake, decreased iron absorption, increased iron demand or increased iron loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total 30 patients of pandu were registered in two groups. Patients of group A were treated with lohamritam: 1 tablet of 250 mg twice a day on empty stomach with honey for 8 weeks of period. Patients of group B were treated with ferrous sulphate: 1 tablet of 200 mg twice a day with lemon water on empty stomach for 8 weeks of period. Signs and symptoms were assessed with the help of specially prepared grade scores. Haematological parameters were also assessed. RESULTS Patients of group A who were treated with lohamritam oral medicaments have same relief compared to the patients of group B who consumed oral medicaments of ferrous sulphate. It was tested with un-paired ‘t’ test. CONCLUSION Lohamritam is effective therapy for the management of pandu vis-a-vis iron deficiency anemia. Considering the level of significance, lohamritam is equally effective when compared with the ferrous sulphate, already established modern conventional medicine for iron deficiency anemia.
