Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this anemia that your wife has. I will like to know why you would prefer to administer this iron IV rather than per os? Unless the oral route is contra-indicated, I will not want and encourage you to administer this drug IV. It is never a daily or alternate daily injections. The amount needed is estimated and followed by monthly injections if this is needed. Please, refrain from doing this without enough reasons for doing so!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
