Type: article
Abstract: Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia in the world, resulting from iron deficiency, which compromises hemoglobin synthesis and red blood cell production.In view of this, the aim of this work is to develop a study on the main innovations in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adults, in order to improve serum iron and ferritin levels.The methodology applied is based on a literature review, in which health databases were used that contributed to the development of the research.The results showed that the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adults is evolving towards a personalized, multimodal and evidence-based model.While oral supplementation remains the first line, innovative formulations and optimized dosage regimens reduce adverse effects and improve adherence.In conclusion, intravenous iron is expanding its indications, benefiting patients with complex comorbidities.In parallel, emerging nutritional and pharmacological strategies promise to further improve clinical outcomes.Thus, close monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach are essential to ensure effective iron replacement and the resolution of anemia.
