Patients were randomly allocated into </strong><strong>Group A</strong><strong>,</strong><strong> given</strong><strong> Syrup  ferrous sulphate in a dose of 6mg/kg/day of elemental iron once daily for 4 weeks and </strong><strong>Grou</strong><strong>p B, given syrup  iron polymaltose complex in a dose of 6mg/kg/day of elemental iron once daily orally for 4 weeks</strong><strong>. </strong></p> <p><strong>Results</strong><strong>: - The average age was 24.86±17.85 months. The efficacy was significantly high in ferrous sulphate as compare to Iron polymaltose complex for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (p=0.009). </strong></p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong><strong>Ferrous sulphate  has advantage over iron polymaltose complex in treatment of iron deficiency anaemia where rise in haemoglobin was considered</strong></p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College}, author={Tariq Mahmood, Tariq Masood Khan,Naila Khizar, Tariq Mahmood, Tariq Masood Khan,Naila Khizar}, year={2017}, month={Dec.} }
