INJECTAFER-Injectable
This medication is used to treat iron-poor blood (iron deficiency anemia). Low iron levels can occur due to many conditions, including when your body cannot get enough iron from food (because of poor nutrition or poor absorption) or when there is long-term blood loss. Ferric carboxymaltose is a form of injectable iron that is used if you cannot take iron by mouth because of side effects or an unsuccessful response to treatment. It is also used by people who have anemia due to long-term kidney disease. Iron is an important mineral that your body needs to make enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body.
Flushing, nausea, dizziness, or pain/irritation/bruising at the injection site may occur. Brown staining of the skin around the injection site may also occur and can be long lasting. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. An increase in your blood pressure, sometimes along with dizziness, nausea, or flushing of the face, may rarely occur right after a dose of this medication, but these effects usually go away within 30 minutes. Tell your doctor right away if your blood pressure remains high or if these symptoms persist or worsen. Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: bone pain/problems, symptoms of low phosphate levels (such as muscle weakness, mental/mood changes).
