An Open Label, Randomized Control Proof of Concept Study to Compare the Effectiveness of Thiriloga Chendhuram (TC) with Annabedhi Chendhuram (ABC; Active Control) in the Treatment of Veluppu Noi (Iron Deficiency Anemia) in Women of Reproductive Age:

This proof-of-concept study addresses the challenges of IDA in women of reproductive age, emphasizing the potential role of Siddha medicine and offering alternatives for managing IDA. This trial also assesses the reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) and percentage of hypochromic cells (% hypo), which offer enhanced sensitivity, specificity, and reliability for diagnosing IDA. The findings will pave the way for future large-scale trials and also contribute to innovative approaches in addressing IDA.
