Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness and tolerability of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in Indian rural and tribal women. Aims and Objectives: The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of intravenous (IV) infusion of FCM in iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in rural and tribal women. Secondary objectives included evaluating changes in hematological parameters from baseline and assessing tolerability. Materials and Methods: A prospective, open‑label, observational, real‑world, single‑center study was conducted at Getwell Multispecialty Hospital, Manchar, Pune. Female patients with IDA (Pregnant: Hb 6 to \u003C11 g/dL, non‑pregnant: Hb: 6 to \u003C12 g/dl) were recruited. FCM was administered as an IV infusion, and patients were followed up at 6 weeks. Change in Hb, other haematological parameters from baseline were assessed. Adverse effects related to FCM were monitored. Results: Fifty‑five patients completed the study; 7.27% were pregnant and 92.73% were nonpregnant. A significant increase in Hb of 3.64 g/dL was recorded at 6 weeks. All pregnant women achieved the target Hb of 11 g/dL, whereas 58.82% of nonpregnant women reached 12 g/dL; there was a significant increase in hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and MCH concentration (P \u003C 0.05 for all) as compared to baseline. FCM infusion was well tolerated. Conclusions: FCM IV infusion significantly increased Hb levels and other hematological parameters at 6 weeks. FCM appears to be an effective and well‑tolerated treatment for IDA in pregnant and non‑pregnant women in rural and tribal area.  \nKeywords: Ferric carboxymaltose, hemoglobin improvement, intravenous iron therapy, iron  \ndeficiency anemia, pregnant women, rural and tribal women   \nIntroduction  \nIron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a major global health concern and has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the most prevalent nutritional deficiency worldwide.[1] Globally, IDA affects approximately 1.8 billion individuals, with India alone accounting for nearly 447 million cases, contributing a quarter of the global burden.[2,3]  \nThe condition affects individuals across all age groups, from adolescence to perimenopause in women, and is particularly exacerbated during pregnancy due to the increased nutritional demands of the growing fetus. The WHO estimates that IDA in women (Hb \u003C12 g/dl) is directly or indirectly responsible for approximately 591,000 perinatal deaths and 115,000 maternal deaths each year. Nearly half of all global maternal deaths attributed to  \nThis is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License (CC BY-NC-ND), where it is permissible to download and share the work provided it is properly cited.

The high prevalence of anemia in India can be attributed to factors such as inadequate dietary iron intake, poor iron bioavailability, phytate‑rich diets, unhealthy eating patterns, chronic menstrual blood loss, and infections such as malaria and hookworm infestations. This situation is further compounded in rural and tribal areas, where access to effective treatments for IDA remains limited.[4]  \nCurrent strategies for managing IDAin rural and tribal India include dietary interventions, iron supplementation programs, and fortification initiatives.
