This study investigated the prevalence, severity, and management of side effects associated with anemia treatments among Romanian patients, aiming to identify key factors influencing treatment adherence and patient satisfaction. Methods: A prospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire distributed to adult patients diagnosed with anemia. Data were collected from 382 participants, covering demographic variables, anemia causes, treatment types, and patient-reported side effects. Results: Of the participants, 45% reported side effects, with a higher prevalence in intravenous (52%) than oral administration (48%). Common side effects included gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea\/vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain) and systemic symptoms (fatigue, headaches). Our analysis revealed that as the patient age increased, the severity of treatment-related side effects also intensified (p &lt; 0.01), particularly in gastrointestinal discomfort. Similarly, BMI was a significant predictor (p &lt; 0.05), suggesting that metabolic factors play a role in symptom manifestation. Notably, severe side effects were significantly associated with treatment modifications and lower patient satisfaction. Supplements like magnesium and vitamin D3 showed positive effects in mitigating the side effects, whereas probiotics and vitamin C had mixed outcomes. Conclusions: The study highlights the significant burden of side effects in anemia treatment, emphasizing the need for personalized management strategies to improve adherence and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu17091485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,28]],"date-time":"2025-04-28T11:48:33Z","timestamp":1745840913000},"page":"1485","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Impact of Side Effects on Anemia Therapy Compliance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5284-0683","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u0103lina","family":"Ciont","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"},{"name":"Molecular Nutrition and Proteomics Laboratory, Institute of Life Sciences, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1899-5977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raluca Maria","family":"Pop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Morpho-Functional Sciences, Pharmacology, Toxicology and Clinical Pharmacology, \u201cIuliu Ha\u0163ieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Victor Babe\u0219, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ligia","family":"Pop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"},{"name":"Molecular Nutrition and Proteomics Laboratory, Institute of Life Sciences, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5407-8071","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dan Cristian","family":"Vodnar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7083-8197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ionela-Daniela","family":"Morariu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental and Food Chemistry, \u201cGrigore T.
