Oral preparations correct the problem just as rapidly/completely as parenteral preparations as long as GI absorption of Fe is not hindered (the route of choice when this is normal): Exception is in patients with chronic kidney disease who are undergoing hemodialysis and treatment with erythropoietin (EPO) because of their high requirement for Fe
