1500 ml of iron fusion

As you know I was in hospital getting 1500 ml of iron fusion into me, my question is , is that a lot to be low in?

Hi. If I've understood your question correctly, the different types of infusions involve different volumes depending on how easily each type can be used by the body.. Venofer commonly involves 2 - 3 large, slow infusions, Cosmofer is one but its a sizeable volume whereas the newest, most expensive ones such as Ferinject are single infusions of little volume administered over a couple of hours. Ive had them all!

One week I was put on a drip and had 1000mlg irion put into me, the following I had another 500mlg put into me, been seeing a blood specialist every 3 months now for 4 years, my irion and hemagloban levels keep going up and down for no reason.
