Intravenous ferric derisomaltose infusion dose regimen
| Haemoglobin | Body weight <50 kg* | Body weight 50– <70 kg | Body weight ≥70 kg |
| ≥10 g/dL | 20 mg/kg | 1000 mg | 20 mg/kg up to a maximum of 1500 mg |
| <10 g/dL | 20 mg/kg | 20 mg/kg | 20 mg/kg up to a maximum of 2000 mg |
The dosing table permits an estimation of iron need and utilises a pragmatic approach that takes into consideration a patient’s weight and haemoglobin concentration. Doses up to and including 1000 mg – infused over >15 min. Doses exceeding 1000 mg – infused over 30 min or more.
*At trial design guidance for calculating iron need for this patient group was limited; therefore, a pragmatic administration approach was taken to ensure patients did not receive higher than the maximum licenced dose.
