Ferric carboxymaltose
Dosage form: 5% w/v iron containing 50 mg iron per mL, as sterile solution of FERINJECT® in water for injection.

Iron Sucrose
"VENOFER® will be administered via i.v. drip infusion, diluted only in sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution as follows:~• 10 mL Venofer® (200 mg iron) in maximum 200 mL sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution in at least 30 minutes.~The first 25 mL of solution should be infused as a test dose over a period of 15 minutes. If no adverse reactions occur, use infusion rate no more than 50 mL in 15 minutes.~The individual iron deficit will be calculated using the modified formula of Ganzoni.~If the patient's body mass index is \>25, a normalised weight will be used for the calculation of iron deficit. Normalised weight = 25 x height \[m\] x height \[m\].~The calculated cumulative VENOFER® dose is to be rounded up or down to the nearest 200 mg.~Patients will receive one 200 mg VENOFER® infusion, twice a week, up to 11 times (max dosage 2200 mg), depending on their calculated iron deficit."
