Product Introduction

Fepink 750mg Injection is an iron replacement medicine used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia, a condition where the body lacks sufficient healthy red blood cells due to low iron levels. Iron is essential for the production of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. This injection contains Ferric Carboxymaltose, a form of injectable iron particularly useful when oral iron supplements are ineffective or poorly tolerated. It is also used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. Your doctor will determine the dose and frequency of the injection based on your iron levels and health condition. Fepink 750mg Injection is administered intravenously (IV) under medical supervision, typically in two doses given one week apart. You will be observed during and after the injection to monitor for allergic reactions. A balanced diet rich in iron, such as meat, leafy greens, lentils, and raisins, can also support your treatment.

Uses

Iron deficiency anaemia (in adults and pediatric patients above 1 year) Iron deficiency anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis)

How it works

FePink 750mg Injection contains Ferric Carboxymaltose, which provides iron in a complex form that is slowly released and used by your body to produce red blood cells. This helps restore iron levels and relieve symptoms of anaemia such as tiredness, dizziness, and breathlessness.

Common: Nausea, vomiting Headache, dizziness Flushing or redness of the skin High blood pressure Injection site reactions (pain, swelling, discoloration) Skin rashes Dark-colored stools (harmless) Less common but serious: Hypersensitivity reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) Low phosphate levels in the blood (hypophosphatemia) Increased phosphate levels Inflammation of the veins Fainting or paleness
