IRON SUCROSE
FERLIB
DESCRIPTION
Iron saccharate (Sucroferric oxyhydroxide or Iron Sucrose) is used as a source of iron in patients with iron deficiency anemia with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those who are undergoing dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal) and those who do not require dialysis. Due to less side effects than iron dextran, iron saccharate is more preferred in chronic kidney disease patients.
SIDE EFFECTS
Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic shock, loss of consciousness, collapse, hypotension, dyspnea, and seizure.
INDICATION
Iron sucrose is elemental iron as an injection. It replenishes body iron stores in patients with iron deficiency.
