Description
Product Description: Iron Sucrose Injection is a sterile, aqueous solution containing iron sucrose complex, a type of iron supplement used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It is administered intravenously to replenish iron stores in patients with anemia resulting from chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or other conditions causing iron deficiency.
Indications and Usage: Iron Sucrose Injection is indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis and in non-dialysis-dependent adult and pediatric patients with iron deficiency anemia.
Dosage and Administration: The dosage of Iron Sucrose Injection is based on the patient's hemoglobin level, body weight, and iron deficit. It is administered intravenously either as a slow bolus injection or by slow infusion over a period of time determined by the healthcare provider. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on individual patient response.
Dosage Forms and Strengths: Iron Sucrose Injection is available as a sterile solution in vials or ampules. Each milliliter of the solution contains a specific amount of elemental iron, typically ranging from 20 mg/mL to 100 mg/mL, depending on the concentration of the product.
Contraindications: Iron Sucrose Injection is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to iron sucrose or any of its components. It should not be administered to patients with evidence of iron overload or in patients with anemia not caused by iron deficiency.
Warnings and Precautions: Before administering Iron Sucrose Injection, healthcare providers should evaluate patients for underlying causes of anemia and monitor patients for signs of hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Iron Sucrose Injection should be administered with caution in patients with a history of asthma, eczema, or other allergic conditions.
Adverse Reactions/Side Effects: Common adverse reactions associated with Iron Sucrose Injection include hypotension, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Other potential side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site reactions, and changes in laboratory parameters such as serum ferritin and transferrin saturation.
Drug Interactions: Iron Sucrose Injection may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antacids, and medications containing aluminum or magnesium. Healthcare providers should carefully evaluate patients for potential drug interactions before administering Iron Sucrose Injection.

It should be used with caution in pediatric patients, particularly infants and young children, due to the risk of hypersensitivity reactions.
