Iron dextran complex (Imferon) total dose infusion (TDI) was used to treat iron deficiency anemia in 310 obstetric patients. Systemic reactions were reported for 13.5% of the group. Most (90.5%) of the severe reactions occurred during the test dose, while 66.6% recorded during or after TDI were mild. Antihistamine premedication included administration of promethazine hydrochloride to 104 patients and intramuscular and intravenous drip chlorpheniramine hydrogen maleate to 206 patients. Total systemic reactions were statistically greater with intramuscular promethazine hydrochloride than with intramuscular and intravenous chlorpheniramine maleate (p less than 0.001). On the other hand, the rates of severe reactions and reactions during the test dose were similar for both antihistamine schedules (p greater than 0.05). The incidence of all systemic reactions was the same for pregnant and postnatal women (p greater than 0.05), but severe reactions were more frequent among pregnant than postnatal patients (p less than 0.001). There were no fatalities.
