How much iron a patient can tolerate at a time given intravenously:
Correct Answer: 2500 mg
Description: The dose of parenteral iron is calculated using formula given in Q. 14. If the dose is more than 50 ml (each ml has 50 mg of iron i.e. 2500 mg iron), then half the dose is given on day one and second half on next day. Thus maximum iron which can be given in a day is 2500 mg.
ACOG recommends the use of iron sorbitol as it is safer than iron dextran.
