==Contraindications==
Contraindications often depend on the substance in question. Documented [[hypersensitivity]] to any ingredients and anemias without proper work-up (i.e., documentation of iron deficiency) is true of all preparations. Some can be used in iron deficiency, others require iron deficiency anaemia to be present. Some are also contraindicated in [[rheumatoid arthritis]].<ref name="Cosmofer SmPC">{{cite web | url =

Iron can be supplemented [[oral route|by mouth]] using various forms, such as [[iron(II) sulfate]]. This is the most common and well studied soluble iron [[salt]] sold under brand names such as Feratab, Fer-Iron, and Slow-FE. It is in complex with [[gluconate]], [[dextran]], [[carbonyl iron]], and other salts. [[Ascorbic acid]], vitamin C, increases the absorption of non-heme sources of iron.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lynch SR, Cook JD | title = Interaction of vitamin C and iron | journal = Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences | volume = 355 | issue = 1 | pages = 32–44 | year = 1980 | pmid = 6940487 | doi = 10.1111/j.1749-6632.1980.tb21325.x | s2cid = 35848195 | citeseerx = 10.1.1.530.1906 | bibcode = 1980NYASA.355...32L }}</ref>
Heme iron polypeptide (HIP) (e.g. Proferrin ES and Proferrin Forte) can be used when regular iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate are not tolerated or absorbed. A clinical study demonstrated that HIP increased serum iron levels 23 times greater than ferrous fumarate on a milligram-per-milligram basis.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Seligman PA, Moore GM, Schleicher RB |title=Clinical studies of hip: An oral heme-iron product |journal=Nutrition Research |volume=20 |issue=9 |year=2000 |pages=1279–86 |doi=10.1016/s0271-5317(00)00215-3 |s2cid=84515114 }}</ref>

Since iron stores in the body are generally depleted, and there is a limit to what the body can process (about 2–6 mg/kg of body mass per day; i.e. for a 100 kg/220 lb man this is equal to a maximum dose of 200–600 mg/per day) without [[iron poisoning]], this is a chronic therapy which may take 3–6 months.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/iron-poisoning | title = Iron Poisoning | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120412155245/http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/iron-poisoning | archive-date = 12 April 2012 | work = Webmd.com | date = 27 September 2012 | access-date = 21 December 2012 }}</ref>

Iron therapy (intravenously or intramuscular) is given when therapy by mouth has failed (not tolerated), oral absorption is seriously compromised (by illnesses, or when the person cannot swallow), benefit from oral therapy cannot be expected, or fast improvement is required (for example, prior to elective surgery).<ref name="pmid9070014">{{cite journal | vauthors = Kumpf VJ | title = Parenteral iron supplementation | journal = Nutrition in Clinical Practice | volume = 11 | issue = 4 | pages = 139–146 | date = August 1996 | pmid = 9070014 | doi = 10.1177/0115426596011004139 }}</ref> [[Parenteral|Parenteral therapy]] is more expensive than oral iron preparations and is not suitable during the first trimester of [[pregnancy]].<ref
There are cases where parenteral iron is preferable over oral iron. These are cases where oral iron is not tolerated, where the [[haemoglobin]] needs to be increased quickly (e.g. post partum, post operatively, post transfusion), where there is an underlying inflammatory condition (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease) or renal patients, the benefits of parenteral iron far outweigh the risks.

''Iron Isomaltoside 1000'' (Trade name ''Monofer'') is a newer formulation of parenteral iron that has a matrix structure that results in very low levels of free iron and labile iron. It can be given at high doses – 20 mg/kg in a single visit – no upper dose limit. This formulation has the benefit of giving a full iron correction in a single visit.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Jahn MR, Andreasen HB, Fütterer S, Nawroth T, Schünemann V, Kolb U, Hofmeister W, Muñoz M, Bock K, Meldal M, Langguth P | display-authors = 6 | title = A comparative study of the physicochemical properties of iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer), a new intravenous iron preparation and its clinical implications | journal = European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics | volume = 78 | issue = 3 | pages = 480–491 | date = August 2011 | pmid = 21439379 | doi = 10.1016/j.ejpb.2011.03.016 }}</ref><ref name="CançadoMuñoz2011">{{cite journal | vauthors = Cançado RD, Muñoz M | title = Intravenous iron therapy: how far have we come? | journal = Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia | volume = 33 | issue = 6 | pages = 461–469 | year = 2011 | pmid = 23049364 | pmc = 3459360 | doi = 10.5581/1516-8484.20110123 }}</ref>▼

[[Ferric maltol]], marketed as ''Accrufer'' and ''Ferracru,'' is available in oral and IV preparations. When used as a treatment for IBD-related anemia, very low certainty evidence suggests a marked benefit with oral ferric maltol compared with placebo. However it was unclear whether the IV preparation was more effective than oral ferric maltol.<ref name=":0" />▼
