The Importance of Iron Supplementation in Pregnant Women

Abstract

Iron supplementation is an important treatment for pregnant people with iron deficiency anemia. For this reason, we designed and created an evidence-based infographic with accessible fonts, pictograms, and language. This tool serves as a framework for the potential of visual communication tools in the context of improving medication and treatment adherence. Various sources were utilized to derive information on a suggested iron intake regimen; however, we encourage individuals to consult with their primary care providers in order to establish the ideal regimen for them, adjusted to unique individual factors.
