Whereas control group received cap Fefol 1 bid after meals for 2 months. The primary outcome measure was improvement in Hb% and PCV. Results: Iron deficiency anemia is significantly improved (P <0.001**) after intervention in two groups. There is significant improvement in Hb% with the mean±SD before treatment is 9.68±1.16 and after treatment 11.24±1.51 with p value is <0.001**. The mean±SD of PCV before treatment is 30.36±2.75 and after treatment is 33.92±4.76 with p value of 0.002**, which is more significant clinically and statistically. Interpretation & Conclusion: Test drug provide statistically significant improvement in iron deficiency anemia. It can serve an alternative treatment for Iron deficiency anemia.
