Abstract
Iron is commonly administered orally and less often parenterally. Therapeutically, the important consideration is the elemental iron content of the preparation and not simply the total weight of the iron complex in the dose. To achieve a complete response in most cases 1,000–2,000 mg elemental iron must enter the body.
