Abstract : Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and vitamin B12 deficiency anemia are two of the most common types of nutritional anemia that affect people of all ages all over the world. Iron deficiency anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, if left and examined or untreated until late in the course, may result in fatigue, weakness, occasionally neurologic abnormalities. Early diagnosis and treatment must be made easy in order to ensure improved patient wellbeing and to prevent complications. The clinical and pharmacological treatment of Iron deficiency anemia and B12 deficiency anemia is presented in this article, with a focus on administration of different iron preparations like ionic(divalent) and non-ionic (trivalent). Vitamin B12 replacement therapy, administration, administration doses, and monitoring for safety and efficacy are presented. The aim is to offer evidence based recommendations for selecting the optimum treatment for a given patient.

Keywords : Iron Deficiency Anemia, Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia, Divalent and Trivalent Iron, Pharmacological Management, Treatment Safety and Effectiveness.
