Retrospective Analysis and Summary on Efficacy of Jianpi Shengxue Tablet in the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia

[Objectives]The research aimed to make a retrospective analysis and summary on the efficacy of Jianpi Shengxue Tablet in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia.[Methods]A total of 200 patients with iron deficiency anemia who were treated at outpatient in Tongzhou District of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from January 1,2017 to October 30,2020 were selected as the research objects.All these patients were given treatment with Jianpi Shengxue Tablet for the first time.Results of blood routine examination,serum iron concentration,total iron binding capacity and ferritin were compared before and after treatment at different dates.Subjective symptoms and adverse reactions were also described.Jianpi Shengxue Tablet was given orally after meals,3 tablets each time,3 times a day.[Results]Hemoglobin level was(83.58±15.81)g/L(M±SD,n=200)before treatment,and(103.40±12.60)g/L(n=74)after 2 week's treatment,with a 24.3%increase(P=0.0047).Hemoglobin concentration was(111.9±19.4)g/L(n=47)at the 4th week after treatment,which was near normality;(126.0±9.49)g/L(n=30)at the 6th week with complete normality and(130.7±7.95)g/L(n=23)at the 8th week.MCV,MCH and MCHC increased gradually after treatment.Serum total iron biding capacity decreased,while serum iron and ferritin increased gradually,and the three indexes were significantly different at the 4th week after treatment as compared with those before treatment(P﹤0.01).Subjective symptoms were improved in the 1st week from starting treatment among all the cases.The adverse events were mainly gastrointestinal irritation,occurring in 7/200 cases(3.5%).[Conclusions]Jianpi Shengxue Tablet is quite effective and safe in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia,with rapid comprehensive improvement of anemia-related symptoms and increase of hemoglobin and red blood cell parameters.
