Ferinject Injection 100 mg/2 ml contains Ferric Carboxymaltose, a parenteral iron preparation used for the rapid correction of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adults. Iron deficiency anemia is a common condition characterized by reduced hemoglobin levels due to insufficient iron, leading to fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and impaired physical and cognitive function. It may result from chronic blood loss, poor dietary intake, or increased physiological demands such as pregnancy.

Ferinject provides a highly bioavailable form of iron that can be administered intravenously, allowing for fast replenishment of iron stores, especially in patients who cannot tolerate oral iron supplements or in situations requiring rapid correction of anemia. Its stable formulation allows large doses to be administered in a single session, improving patient compliance and clinical outcomes.

Key Features and Benefits

Active Ingredient:

• Ferric Carboxymaltose 100 mg per 2 ml injection

Rapid Correction of Iron Deficiency:

• Quickly increases hemoglobin and iron stores

• Reduces symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and dizziness

• Improves quality of life in iron-deficient patients

Safe and Effective Intravenous Therapy:

• Suitable for patients intolerant to oral iron supplements

• Avoids gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, constipation, and abdominal pain

• Can be administered in a single or few sessions depending on patient needs

Convenient Dosing:

• High-dose formulation allows for large iron replacement in one injection

• Reduces the frequency of hospital visits compared to multiple oral doses

• Flexible dosing based on patient’s hemoglobin levels and body weight

Support for Special Populations:

• Ideal for patients with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, or inflammatory bowel disease

• Suitable for patients with malabsorption syndromes or post-surgical iron deficiency

• Can be used in perioperative anemia management for faster recovery

How It Works

Ferric Carboxymaltose is a complex of iron and carbohydrate, designed for controlled and gradual release of iron into the bloodstream. Its mechanism of action includes:

1. Intravenous delivery: Rapidly introduces iron directly into the bloodstream, bypassing gastrointestinal absorption.

2. Iron uptake: Iron is taken up by transferrin in the plasma and transported to the bone marrow.

3. Hemoglobin synthesis: Supports red blood cell production, correcting anemia and restoring oxygen-carrying capacity.

4. Iron storage replenishment: Gradually restores ferritin and other iron reserves in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

This approach ensures fast and efficient correction of iron deficiency, improving hemoglobin levels and alleviating anemia-related symptoms.

Indications

Ferinject Injection 100 mg/2 ml is indicated for:

• Treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adults

• Patients who cannot tolerate or respond adequately to oral iron therapy

• Rapid correction of iron deficiency before elective surgery or in chronic conditions such as:

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

  • Heart failure

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

• Replenishment of iron stores in patients with significant blood loss

Dosage and Administration

• Administer intravenously as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Dosage is individualized based on body weight, hemoglobin level, and iron deficit calculation.

• Typical administration allows 100 mg per 2 ml injection, with total required dose given in one or multiple sessions.

• Infuse slowly over recommended time to minimize risk of adverse reactions.

• Regular monitoring of hemoglobin and iron parameters is advised during therapy.
