Product Introduction
Encicarb 1K Injection contains ferric carboxymaltose, an intravenous iron replacement medicine used to treat iron-deficiency anemia in adults and children aged one year and above when oral iron supplements are ineffective or cannot be tolerated. It is also prescribed for adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. The injection helps restore iron levels, promotes healthy red blood cell production, and relieves symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and low energy. The dosage is determined by the doctor based on the patient's iron levels, body weight, and medical condition.
Encicarb 1K Injection is administered by a healthcare professional as an intravenous injection or infusion and is not recommended for children below one year of age. Before treatment, patients should inform their doctor about conditions such as asthma, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, liver disease, ongoing infections, or low phosphate levels. It should not be used in individuals with anemia unrelated to iron deficiency, iron overload disorders, or impaired iron utilization.
Common side effects of Encicarb 1K Injection include nausea, dizziness, flushing, headache, and pain at the injection site. Although rare, serious allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing require immediate medical attention. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Manufactured by Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Encicarb 1K Injection is widely used for rapid iron replacement in severe anemia, and your doctor may recommend a suitable alternative if it is unavailable.
