Ferinject 500mg Injection 10ml

About

Ferinject 500mg Injection contains the active ingredient Ferric Carboxymaltose, which belongs to the class of iron replacement products. It is used to treat iron-deficiency anemia (low red blood cell count due to insufficient iron) in adults and pediatric patients who cannot tolerate oral iron or when oral supplements are ineffective. It is also indicated for adults with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who have iron-deficiency anemia. This medicine is not recommended for children under one year of age.

Do not use Ferinject 500mg Injection if you are allergic to ferric carboxymaltose or any of its ingredients, if you have anemia not caused by iron deficiency, iron overload (excess iron in the body), or conditions that affect the body’s ability to utilize iron. Inform your physician if you have rheumatoid arthritis, severe asthma, eczema, infection, liver problems, or low phosphate levels in the blood. Incorrect administration may lead to irritation and long-lasting skin discoloration at the injection site.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The most common side effects include nausea, hypertension, flushing, injection site reactions, skin rashes, vomiting, and dizziness. Tell your physician if you have previously experienced severe allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions to other injectable iron preparations.
