iron infusion

Hi,  does anyone know why iron sucrose can't be given as a total dose infusion?  Everything I can find on the net says that it has to be given in 100mg doses to a maximum of 3 doses a week.  The largest dose I could find is 200mgs at time.  I need 1,000 to 1500mgs and would rather have it all at once.  I can't have iron dextran due to severe reactions.

Has anyone here had larger doses? Any problems?

Thanks

A 'dosing-range' study is usually performed in individuals to establish at what levels dosing can be done and to look at adverse side-effects. In studies of compounds of iron sucrose it appears that increased dosage levels resulted in deleterious side-effects. 'Safe' levels in a number of cases are suggested to be at those you were able to find.

Thank you, I thought it must be something like that.  Oh well, looks like lots of visits to the hospital.
