    Author: Simonsson B, Birgegård G, Killander A, Levander H.
    Journal: Scand J Haematol Suppl; 1977; 32():239-44. PubMed ID: 341279.
    Abstract:
    Iron deficiency anaemia was produced by repeated phlebotomies in three healthy males. The storage iron was estimated as 666, 522 and 750 mg. After treatment with 1 000 mg of Ferastral the blood haemoglobin concentration rose at an average daily rate of 0.1 g/100 ml/day. Ninety per cent of the injected iron could be accounted for, and the utilization was estimated to about 70-80%. Side effects comprised pain and discolouration at the injection site.
