The dose of Ironorm® Drops for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia has been updated in the BNF for Children digital products.

The dose incorrectly stated a maximum volume per dose of 8mL, instead of a maximum volume per day of 8mL.

The correct dose is as follows:

Iron-deficiency anaemia (therapeutic)

By mouth

Child 1 month–5 years
0.12–0.24 mL/kilogram daily in 2–3 divided doses; maximum 8 mL per day.

Child 6–11 years
0.12–0.24 mL/kilogram daily in 2–3 divided doses; maximum 8 mL per day.

Child 12–17 years
4 mL 1–2 times a day.

This updated dose will be present in the October monthly update for all digital products of BNF for Children.
