Ferimax Injection 200 mg/10 ml contains Iron Sucrose, a parenteral iron preparation used for the treatment of iron deficiency when oral iron therapy is ineffective, not tolerated, or contraindicated. It is especially beneficial in patients who require rapid replenishment of iron stores, such as those with chronic kidney disease, ongoing blood loss, or conditions associated with impaired iron absorption.

Iron deficiency is a common cause of anemia and can lead to fatigue, weakness, reduced physical capacity, and impaired cognitive function. Ferimax Injection provides elemental iron directly into the bloodstream, allowing immediate availability for hemoglobin synthesis and erythropoiesis. Due to its favorable safety profile and controlled release of iron, Iron Sucrose is widely used in hospital and clinical settings.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Iron Sucrose

• Strength: 200 mg elemental iron per 10 ml

• Dosage Form: Injection

• Route of Administration: Intravenous use

Therapeutic Class

• Hematinics

• Parenteral Iron Preparations

Indications

Ferimax Injection is indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in the following conditions:

• Chronic kidney disease, including patients on hemodialysis

• Iron deficiency anemia when oral iron therapy is ineffective or not tolerated

• Patients requiring rapid iron replacement

• Anemia associated with pregnancy and postpartum period (when oral therapy is unsuitable)

• Anemia due to chronic blood loss

• Malabsorption syndromes

Pharmacology

Iron Sucrose is a stable iron–carbohydrate complex that delivers iron in a controlled manner. After intravenous administration, iron is dissociated from the sucrose complex and transported by transferrin to target tissues, particularly the bone marrow, where it is utilized for hemoglobin synthesis. Excess iron is stored as ferritin in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

Compared to other parenteral iron preparations, Iron Sucrose has a lower risk of severe hypersensitivity reactions and allows repeated dosing with good tolerability.

Dosage and Administration

• Administered by intravenous injection or infusion

• The dosage and total cumulative dose depend on the patient’s iron deficit and clinical condition

• Must be administered under medical supervision

Note: Do not administer intramuscularly.

Contraindications

• Known hypersensitivity to Iron Sucrose or any of its components

• Iron overload disorders such as hemochromatosis

• Anemia not caused by iron deficiency

Precautions and Warnings

• Monitor hemoglobin, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation regularly

• Nausea or vomiting

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Injection site reactions

• Rare hypersensitivity reactions

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

• Can be used during pregnancy when clearly needed and prescribed by a physician
