Abstract	This study investigated the efficacy and safety of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in a cohort of 100 patients across four locations in West Bengal, India. The results demonstrated significant improvements in various hematological parameters, including a substantial increase in haemoglobin levels, following FCM administration. The study also highlighted the absence of adverse events, showcasing a favorable safety profile of FCM in this population. The use of FCM, a third-generation parenteral iron formulation, proved effective in addressing moderate-to-severe IDA, aligning with existing evidence supporting its efficacy and safety. The rapid and substantial improvement in haemoglobin levels observed within four weeks of FCM administration emphasizes its efficiency in iron repletion, particularly in cases where oral preparations may be insufficient. The absence of adverse effects further supports the tolerability of FCM, a crucial factor in its consideration for widespread use. The study contributes valuable real-world data, especially in the context of the high prevalence of anaemia in India. The findings underscore the potential of FCM as a cornerstone in the treatment of severe anaemia, advocating for its inclusion in targeted interventions and public health initiatives. Overall, this study adds to the growing body of evidence supporting FCM as a promising option in the management of iron deficiency anaemia.
