Iron Deficiency Anemia Is Widespread
Among Women in America

Your risk for iron deficiency anemia is significantly increased if you:

• Are a teenage girl or a woman of childbearing age
• Are pregnant
• Have recently given birth
• Are elderly

Don’t Suffer in Silence

Iron deficiency anemia is a serious health issue, yet it often goes undiagnosed and untreated. Many women come to believe that it’s normal to feel tired, weak, or irritable—just the price you pay for leading a busy life. But iron deficiency anemia is not normal, and, if you don't get treatment, you may end up feeling much worse.

If you think you may be anemic, it is important to speak to your healthcare professional. There are treatments available to help correct and manage iron deficiency anemia—treatments that can help you feel like your true self again.

At American Regent, we’re dedicated to helping women with iron deficiency anemia. We are in the process of researching and developing some potentially important new medications to treat this disorder.

If you think you may be anemic, check out the “Could I Be Anemic?” Questionnaire, and share your results with your healthcare professional.
