Ferumoxytol for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia of pregnancy.

One or two infusions of intravenous iron for iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia of pregnancy simplifies careThis study was conducted to highlight the inconvenience of multiple doses of IV iron and how administering the same dose in one or two infusions simplifies care. We report how a single infusion is as safe and effective as the same dose over two visits, saving an unnecessary visit and IV placement, while reducing cost. This study supports a growing body of evidence, to date, unreported, with ferumoxytol in pregnancy, reporting improved convenience and decreased costs with higher doses of IV iron in one or two visits.
