IV iron calculations

Good morning,

I am familiar with oral iron supplements but have been asked to make a

recommendation for IV iron. I use the " Micronutrition " book, which

gives a formula for calculating the IV iron dextran,

MG iron = (0.3 x wt (lbs) X 100) (14.8 - current hemoglobin)/14.8.

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you,
