FERITERO FCM INJ 500MG VIAL

About

Febrifer-FCM Injection is an iron replacement therapy used to treat iron-deficiency anemia, a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to insufficient iron. Iron is essential for producing red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout the body.

This medicine is administered by injection or infusion (saline drip) into a vein by a doctor or nurse, under medical supervision to monitor for allergic reactions. It is usually given in two doses, seven days apart, though your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency based on your condition. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in iron, vitamins, and minerals can support treatment. Good dietary sources of iron include meat, eggs, raisins, broccoli, and lentils.

Common side effects may include vomiting, headache, dizziness, high blood pressure, and pain or irritation at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. This medicine should not be used if your anemia is not caused by iron deficiency.

Before treatment, inform your doctor if you have rheumatoid arthritis, asthma or allergies, high blood pressure, or liver problems, as these may influence your treatment. The safety of Febrifer-FCM Injection during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established, so consult your doctor for advice. During therapy, you will undergo blood tests to monitor your red blood cell count, iron levels, and possible side effects. It may also be advisable to limit alcohol intake while on treatment.
