The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of an investigational intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose \[FCM\]) or an equal dose of iron dextran and explore the mechanism of hypophosphatemia following administration of FCM or that of an equal dose of iron dextran when treating women with iron deficiency anemia due to heavy uterine bleeding (HUB).

Test dose of 25 mg administered over 5 minutes, if no reaction occurs then the remainder of the dose (15 mg/kg or 1000 mg including the test dose) will be administered as per investigator. The infusion must be given only when resuscitative techniques for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions are readily available.
