POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Monitor carefully patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity
reactions during and following
each administration of Ferinject.

each Ferinject administration (see section 4.4).

repletion assessments. These
steps are outlined below:
_Step 1: Determination of the iron need _
The individual iron need for repletion using Ferinject is determined
