Product Introduction
Fc-Iro 1000mg injection contains ferric carboxymaltose, an iron replacement product. It is used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia (reduced red blood cells due to low iron levels in the body) in adults and paediatric patients who cannot tolerate oral iron or when oral iron supplements are ineffective. It is also indicated for iron deficiency anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. This medicine is not recommended for paediatric patients less than one year of age.
Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to ferric carboxymaltose or any of the other ingredients. Do not receive Fc-Iro 1000mg injection if you have anaemia that is not caused by iron deficiency, iron overload (excess iron in the body), or difficulties in using iron.
Inform your doctor if you have rheumatoid arthritis, severe asthma, eczema, infection, liver disorders, or low phosphate levels in the blood. Incorrect administration of this injection may cause irritation and long-lasting discolouration at the administration site. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before beginning treatment with Fc-Iro 1000mg injection.
The most common side effects are nausea, hypertension, flushing, injection site reactions, skin reactions, vomiting, and dizziness. Tell your doctor if you have experienced serious allergic (hypersensitive) reactions to other injectable iron preparations.
