The observations of resemblance with diseases in conventional system of medicine show that all types of anemia specially megaloblastic anemia, pernicious anemia, hypothyroidism, haemolytic anemia can be considered under umbrella of ''pandu''. The objective parameters used for these disorders can be utilized for research on efficacy of Ayurveda therapies in management of ''pandu''.

*A herbomineral formulation ''Trikatrayadi Lauha'' suspension was observed an effective, well-tolerated, and clinically safe formulation for the management of Iron deficiency anemia in children.<ref>Kumar A, Garai AK. A clinical study on Pandu Roga, iron deficiency anemia, with Trikatrayadi Lauha suspension in children. J Ayurveda Integr Med 2012;3:215-22.</ref> Khan et.al. observed that the same formulation was observed effective to relieve the signs and symptoms of ''pandu'' in comparison to standard control drug (Fersolate-CM). ''Trikatrayadi lauha'' provided significant improvement on Hbgm%, RBC, PCV, MCV, serum iron, percent transferrin saturation and to decrease TIBC. Therefore ''Trikatrayadi Lauha'' can be used in ''Panduroga'' or IDA as a safe hematinic drug.<ref>Khan Subir kumar, Vyas S.N. Chandola H.M.
