4th Step: Therapy

 

After the calculation of the required quantity, the iron is dispensed in the form of short term infusions. Based on proved experience, we recommend the following procedure:

 

Patients in the early stage (iron deficiency syndrome):

 

0,2 gram iron twice a week until the necessary total quantity is reached.

 

Patients in the late stage (iron deficiency anemia):

 

0,5 gram iron once a week until the necessary total quantity is reached.

 

Patients with a heavy iron deficiency anemia:

 

0,5 gram iron twice a week (or 1 gram once) until the necessary total quantity is reached.

 

Planning of the follow up examination:

 

After saturation, the ferritin value needs to be re-determined and correlated with the state of health of the patient. The main question during this stage is: at which ferritin value does she feel healthy? These coordinates must be established and compared to another appraisal three months later. This guarantees the success of the diagnosis protection and allows a effective prevention.

 

After infusions with single doses of 0.2 gram iron, we recommend a blood test 2 weeks after the last infusion. As for higher dosed dispensions (0,5 or 1,0 gram), we recommend a blood test 3 weeks after the last infusion.
