Irojet Plus Amp 5 Ml (5X5X5 Ml) Iron Sucrose By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Iron sucrose is used to treat iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia, especially when oral iron is not suitable, does not work well, or when iron replacement is needed under medical supervision. It is commonly used in people with chronic kidney disease and other conditions causing low iron levels.

How does it work?
It supplies iron that the body uses to make haemoglobin and red blood cells. This helps restore iron stores and improve iron-deficiency anaemia.

How to take/use it
Iron sucrose is given by injection or infusion into a vein by a doctor or nurse. The dose and number of treatments depend on iron levels, haemoglobin and the underlying condition. It should not be self-administered.

Common side effects
Nausea, headache, dizziness, low blood pressure, injection-site reactions and temporary changes in taste may occur.

Precautions
Tell the healthcare professional about any previous reaction to iron injections or iron overload disorders. Blood tests may be needed to monitor iron levels and haemoglobin. It should be given under medical supervision because serious allergic reactions can rarely occur; urgent medical help is needed for breathing difficulty, facial swelling, severe rash or fainting.
