Key Points from this video:
1. All PO formulations can cause GI upset.
2. Opt for IV first-line in: IBD, CKD, Collagen Vascular Disease, post bariatric surgery, and consider in 2nd-3rd trimester of pregnancy
3. IV iron formulations vary in terms of length and frequency of infusions, but all have similar efficacy.
4. Dose of IV iron is max of 1g every few weeks.
