Iron polymaltose

Adult: In cases when oral preparations are contraindicated, enteric absorption of Fe is defective, the patient is non-compliant, or when persistent gastrointestinal intolerance makes oral treatment impractical: As solution for inj containing 318 mg iron polymaltose/2 mL equivalent to 100 mg elemental iron: Dosage is individualised according to Hb level and body weight (refer to local product information for detailed dosage table). Alternatively, the dosage is calculated based on a formula. Total Fe dose (mg) = body weight (kg) x (target Hb - actual Hb in g/L) x 0.24 + Fe depot. For body weight ≤34 kg: Fe depot is calculated as 15 mg/kg (Max: 500 mg); for body weight >34 kg: Fe depot is 500 mg. May give 2 mL every other day until the total Fe dose is attained, or 4 mL at longer intervals. Administer doses via ventro-gluteal inj based on Hochstetter technique. Max single daily dose: >10-45 kg: 100 mg (2 mL); >45 kg: 200 mg (4 mL). Dosage recommendations may vary among countries or individual products (refer to local specific product guidelines).

Administer doses every other day until the total Fe dose is attained via ventro-gluteal inj based on Hochstetter technique. Max single daily dose: Infants weighing up to 5 kg: 25 mg (0.5 mL); children weighing 5-10 kg: 50 mg (1 mL); >10 kg: Same as adult dose.

If well tolerated may increase the rate to 30 drops/minute (based on drop volume of 0.067 mL). Dosage recommendations may vary among countries or individual products (refer to local specific product guidelines).

Adult: Dosage and treatment duration are individualised according to the extent of Fe deficiency. As elemental iron: 50-100 mg daily. In pregnant women: 100 mg daily. All doses may be taken as a single dose or in divided doses. Therapy duration: 1-2 months. Dosage recommendations may vary among countries or individual products (refer to local specific product guidelines).
Child: Dosage and treatment duration are individualised according to the extent of Fe deficiency. As elemental iron: Infants <1 year As drops: 15-25 mg daily; 1-12 years As drops/syr: 25-50 mg daily; >12 years As drops/syr/tab/chew tab: Same as adult dose. All doses may be taken as a single dose or in divided doses. Dosage recommendations may vary among countries or individual products (refer to local specific product guidelines).

Adult: Dosage and treatment duration are individualised according to the extent of Fe deficiency. As elemental iron: Treatment: 100-300 mg daily as a single dose or in divided doses for approx 3-5 months until normalisation of Hb level is attained. Afterwards, continue with 100 mg daily for several weeks. Treatment in pregnant women: 200-300 mg daily as a single dose or in divided doses until target Hb is achieved. Thereafter, continue with 100 mg daily at least until the end of pregnancy. Prevention in high-risk patients: 100 mg daily as a single dose or in divided doses. Dosage recommendations may vary among countries or individual products (refer to local specific product guidelines).
Child: Dosage and treatment duration are individualised according to the extent of Fe deficiency. As elemental iron: Treatment: Infants <1 year As drops/syr: 25-50 mg daily; 1-12 years As drops/syr: 50-100 mg daily; >12 years As drops/syr/tab/chew tab: Same adult dose. All doses may be taken as a single dose or in divided doses. Prevention in high-risk patients: >12 years Same as adult dose. Dosage recommendations may vary among countries or individual products (refer to local specific product guidelines).
