Clinical Particulars
4.1
Therapeutic indications
Venofer is indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency in the
following indications:

Where there is a clinical need for a rapid iron supply

In patients who cannot tolerate oral iron therapy or who are
non-compliant

Where oral iron preparations are ineffective (e.g., in active
inflammatory bowel disease)
Venofer should only be administered where the indication is confirmed
by appropriate investigations.
4.2
Posology and method of administration
Monitor carefully patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity
reactions during and following each
administration of Venofer.
Venofer should only be administered when staff trained to evaluate and
manage anaphylactic reactions is
immediately available, in an environment where full
resuscitation facilities can be assured. The patient should be
observed for adverse
effects for at least 30 minutes following each Venofer injection.
Posology
The cumulative dose of Venofer must be calculated for each patient
individually and must not be exceeded.
Calculation of dosage
The total cumulative dose of Venofer, equivalent to the total iron
deficit (mg), is determined by the
haemoglobin level (Hb) and body weight (BW). The dose of Venofer must
be individually calculated for
each patient according to the total iron deficit calculated with the
following Ganzoni formula, for example:
Total iron deficit [mg] = BW [kg] x (target Hb - actual Hb) [g/dl] x
2.4* + storage iron [mg]
Below 35 kg BW:
Target Hb = 13 g/dl and storage iron = 15 mg/kg BW
35 kg BW and above:
Target Hb = 15
