Usual Adult Dose for Iron Deficiency Anemia:

25 to 100 mg (0.5 to 2 mL) IM or IV once a day. Individual doses of 100 mg (2 mL) may be given by the intermittent IM or IV route until the calculated total iron dextran requirement has been met.

Total dose infusion method: The total dose required is diluted in 250 to 1000 mL of normal saline and administered over a 2 to 6 hour period. Upon completion of the infusion, the vein should be flushed with 10 mL of normal saline.

Yes, amylase can break down dextran. Amylase is an enzyme that primarily breaks down starch into simpler sugars like maltose and glucose.
