  • Title: [Rational iron therapy].
    Author: Rosenmund A.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1987 Oct 31; 117(44):1742-5. PubMed ID: 3685932.
    Abstract:
    After a short outline of internal iron metabolism, some principles of iron absorption, and especially the difference between heme and non-heme iron absorption and some food interactions, are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on absorption, since in most cases of iron deficiency oral substitution is the rational therapy of choice. Finally, noninvasive methods indicating increased iron demand are recalled, and recommendations as to the type, dose, duration and evaluation of oral substitution therapy are made.
