Assessment of the eFficacy, the Onset-of-Action and the Safety of Tot'héma® in Adults With Moderate Iron Deficiency Anaemia

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this study is to assess, in patients with moderate IDA, the Onset-of-Action of a daily treatment with Tot'Héma®. The onset of action is defined as the time required for a mean increase of at least 0,5g/dL from baseline in the haemoglobin level.
