Iron Sucrose 5mL/100mg Injection

Product Introduction

Iron Sucrose 5mL (100mg) is an intravenous iron replacement treatment used when iron deficiency anaemia needs injectable iron support. Iron sucrose supplies iron that the body can use to make hemoglobin and restore iron stores, but it does not treat every cause of anaemia. Rare severe hypersensitivity reactions are possible, especially in people with previous reactions to injectable iron.

How to use

Iron Sucrose 5mL (100mg) is given intravenously by healthcare professionals. Dose schedule depends on iron deficit, hemoglobin, kidney status, previous iron response, and tolerability. Remain under observation as advised after administration.

How it works

Iron sucrose releases iron for transport by transferrin and storage as ferritin, supporting hemoglobin production and correction of iron deficiency.

Common side effects

Possible effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, cramps, flushing, altered taste, injection-site pain, low blood pressure, and muscle or joint aches. Serious concerns include severe allergic reaction, collapse, breathing difficulty, chest tightness, and iron overload with repeated therapy.

Important information

Review previous injectable iron reaction, active infection, liver disease, iron overload disorders, low blood pressure, pregnancy, breastfeeding, kidney disease, dialysis status, and current oral iron or anaemia treatments.
