• No single formulation of oral iron has any advantages over any other. Ferrous sulfate is preferred as the least expensive iron formulation.
• Give oral iron once a day at most. Every-other-day iron dosing may be better tolerated for some patients with similar or equal rates of iron absorption as daily dosing.
• Add vitamin C to oral iron supplementation to improve absorption.
• The ferrous iron salts (ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, and ferrous gluconate) are a reasonable choice to start with because they are often the least expensive.
• In anemic patients, hemoglobin levels should increase by 1 g/dL within 2 weeks in adherent patients on oral iron supplementation.
• A reasonable expectation is ferritin should increase in a month, and if these parameters are not met then IV iron should be used.
