 | | Monitor patients with iron deficiency anemia on an outpatient basis to ensure that there is an adequate response to iron therapy and that iron therapy is continued until after correction of the anemia to replenish body iron stores. | | | Iron is released from heme within the intestinal absorptive cell by heme oxygenase and then transferred into the body as nonheme iron. | | | Iron equilibrium in the body is regulated carefully to ensure that sufficient iron is absorbed in order to compensate for body losses of iron. |
