A simplified formula for calculating the required dose of ferric carboxymaltose, based on patient body weight and hemoglobin levels* (110, 112).
| Ferric carboxymaltose dose (mg) |
||
| Weight 35 to < 70 kg | Weight ≥ 70 kg | |
| Hemoglobin level, g/dL | ||
| <10 | 1,500 | 2,000 |
| 10 to < 14 | 1,000 | 1,500 |
| ≥14 | 500 | 500 |
*The maximum recommended cumulative dose of ferric carboxymaltose is 1,000 mg/week.
