Other Name: Injectafer |
Active Comparator: Iron Dextran Injection
Test dose of 25 mg administered over 5 minutes, if no reaction occurs then the remainder of the dose (15 mg/kg or 1000 mg including the test dose) will be administered as per investigator. The infusion must be given only when resuscitative techniques for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions are readily available.
