Retrospective Evaluation of Pharmacist Assisted Total-Dose Iron Sucrose Protocol in Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia

ConclusionsA pharmacist assisted iron sucrose TDI protocol for patients with IDA successfully increased serum hemoglobin and was well tolerated with nausea being the most common side effect. Unlike, prior formulations where anaphylaxis was the most common side effect this was never reported in our patient population, which further proves that newer formulations of IV Venofer have fewer side effects. Pharmacy assisted protocols will increase the number of patients who are identified as candidates and correctly treated for iron deficit with intravenous iron therapy.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
