Contiene hierro elemental como
polimaltosa en solución inyectable acuosa en concentración de 50mg/ml.
DOSIS :
La dosis de déficit de hierro se
calcula según el peso del paciente y concentración de hemoglobina. Cada ampolla
contiene 100 mg / 2 ml.
Luego se debe dividir la dosis en 1
o 2 ampollas al día por 1 a 3 veces por semana. La dosis diaria máxima
recomendada es de 2 ampollas.
SEGURIDAD:
Lo más frecuente son efectos
locales en el sitio de inyección. Al igual que otros hierros parenterales tiene
riesgo de reacciones de anafilaxia por lo tanto requiere administración en
centros con capacidad de tratamiento urgente de las mismas, además de monitoreo
del paciente luego de la inyección.
