General information

Class/mechanism: Iron, which is needed for various biologic processes, including synthesis of hemoglobin and multiple enzymatic processes.[1][2][3]
Route: IV, IM
Extravasation: no information

  • 1 mL of INFeD provides 50 mg of elemental iron

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
