Product Introduction
Ferracore 50mg Injection 10ml contains ferric carboxymaltose, an iron replacement medicine used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia in adults and children who cannot tolerate oral iron supplements or when oral iron therapy is ineffective. It is also prescribed for adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis and have iron-deficiency anaemia. However, this injection is not recommended for children below one year of age.
Before taking Ferracore 50mg Injection 10ml, inform your doctor if you are allergic to ferric carboxymaltose or any of its ingredients. This medicine should not be used if you have anaemia that is not caused by iron deficiency, iron overload, or conditions that prevent your body from using iron properly. Let your healthcare provider know if you have rheumatoid arthritis, severe asthma, eczema, infections, liver disease, low phosphate levels, or a history of allergic reactions to injectable iron products.
Ferracore 50mg Injection is administered only by a qualified healthcare professional. The dosage is determined based on your iron levels, body weight, and medical condition to ensure safe and effective treatment. Improper administration may lead to irritation or long-lasting skin discolouration at the injection site.
