Ferintus Injection 500 mg/10 ml is a high-strength intravenous iron formulation containing Ferric Carboxymaltose, developed for the effective and rapid management of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. It is particularly beneficial for patients who require fast correction of iron levels or those who are unable to tolerate or respond adequately to oral iron supplements.

Ferric Carboxymaltose is a stable, non-dextran iron complex that enables controlled release of iron into the circulation. This controlled delivery minimizes free iron toxicity and allows administration of larger iron doses in a single session, improving patient convenience and compliance.

Indications

Ferintus Injection 500 mg/10 ml is indicated for:

• Treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adults and adolescents

• Iron deficiency when oral iron therapy is ineffective or poorly tolerated

• Iron deficiency associated with chronic kidney disease

• Iron deficiency in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

• Iron deficiency during pregnancy from the second trimester onward, when clinically indicated

• Iron deficiency following acute or chronic blood loss, including post-surgical conditions

Pharmacology

Ferric Carboxymaltose consists of iron bound to a carbohydrate shell, forming a stable complex. After intravenous administration, iron is taken up by macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system and gradually released to transferrin. This iron is then utilized for hemoglobin synthesis and replenishment of iron stores in the bone marrow, liver, and spleen. Its stability permits high-dose iron replacement with a low risk of oxidative stress.

Dosage and Administration

• Dosage is individualized based on the patient’s weight, hemoglobin concentration, and total iron requirement.

• Ferintus Injection is administered intravenously as a slow injection or infusion.

• It must be administered by a trained healthcare professional in a medical facility.

• A single high dose or multiple doses may be required depending on the severity of iron deficiency.

Benefits

• Rapid replenishment of iron stores

• Convenient high-dose administration

• Reduced need for repeated injections

• Minimal gastrointestinal side effects compared to oral iron

• Improved hemoglobin levels and symptomatic relief in a shorter time

Side Effects

Common adverse reactions may include:

• Headache

• Nausea or vomiting

• Dizziness

• Flushing

• Injection site reactions

Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions or transient hypotension may occur. Patients should be monitored during and after administration.
