Re: Iron infusion question

[Guest guest]

I got 5 doses - 1 per week for 5 weeks. I don't know about one being more

effective than the other though, the way it was explained to me was that it

was the same amount of iron, just broken down into a bunch of separate

doses. I'll definitely have to ask about that the next time I see the hema

doc though.
