Composition

• Ferric Carboxymaltose 1 gm/20 ml

Mechanism of Action

Ferric carboxymaltose is a complex of ferric iron that allows controlled release of iron into the bloodstream. Once administered intravenously, iron is transported to the bone marrow, where it is incorporated into hemoglobin for red blood cell production. It also replenishes iron stores in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, improving oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Indications

Iroject Injection is indicated for:

• Iron deficiency anemia in adults
• Patients intolerant or unresponsive to oral iron therapy
• Anemia associated with chronic kidney disease
• Postpartum iron deficiency anemia
• Pre-operative or post-operative iron deficiency requiring rapid correction
• Anemia in conditions requiring quick iron replenishment

Dosage and Administration

• Administered via intravenous injection or infusion only
• Dosage depends on body weight, hemoglobin level, and iron deficiency status
• Can be given as a single high-dose infusion or divided doses as prescribed
• Must be administered under medical supervision in a clinical setting
• Patients should be monitored during and after administration for hypersensitivity reactions

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Injection site reactions (pain, swelling, or discoloration)
• Flushing

Less common but serious side effects:

• Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions (rare but potentially severe)
• Hypotension
• Hypophosphatemia (low phosphate levels)
• Fever or chills

Precautions

• Should only be administered in facilities equipped to manage allergic reactions
• Monitor hemoglobin, ferritin, and transferrin saturation regularly
• Use with caution in patients with liver disorders
• Avoid use in patients with iron overload conditions
• Not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy unless necessary

Contraindications

• Known hypersensitivity to ferric carboxymaltose or any component
• Iron overload disorders (hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis)
