Ferisen Injection 1 gm/20 ml contains Ferric Carboxymaltose. It is a high-dose injectable iron therapy used to quickly replenish iron stores in patients with moderate to severe iron deficiency anemia, particularly when oral iron therapy is ineffective, not tolerated, or when rapid improvement is clinically necessary.

This formulation allows administration of a larger iron dose in a single session under proper medical supervision.

Composition

Each 20 ml vial contains:

• Ferric Carboxymaltose 1000 mg (1 gm)

For intravenous (IV) administration only.

Mechanism of Action

Ferric Carboxymaltose works by:

• Delivering iron directly into the bloodstream in a stable complex
• Gradually releasing bioavailable iron for hemoglobin synthesis
• Supporting red blood cell production (erythropoiesis)
• Rapidly replenishing iron stores
• Improving oxygen-carrying capacity of blood

This leads to faster correction of anemia compared to oral iron supplements.

Indications

Ferisen Injection is indicated for:

• Iron Deficiency Anemia
• Patients who cannot tolerate or respond to oral iron
• Malabsorption syndromes (e.g., gastrointestinal disorders)
• Chronic blood loss (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding)
• Postpartum or pregnancy-related anemia (as prescribed)
• Pre-operative anemia correction

Dosage and Administration

• Administered intravenously by a healthcare professional only
• Dose depends on body weight and hemoglobin deficit
• Can be given as slow IV injection or infusion
• High-dose formulations may allow fewer treatment sessions
• Patient monitoring is essential during and after administration

Benefits

Ferisen Injection provides several benefits:

• Rapid and efficient restoration of iron stores
• Higher dose allows fewer hospital visits
• Faster increase in hemoglobin levels
• Effective for moderate to severe anemia
• Bypasses gastrointestinal absorption issues

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Injection site reactions

Less common side effects:

• Flushing
• Temporary hypotension
• Muscle or joint pain

Serious side effects (rare):

• Anaphylaxis
• Hypophosphatemia (low phosphate levels)
• Iron overload with excessive dosing

Precautions

• Must be administered in a healthcare setting with monitoring
• Regularly check hemoglobin and iron parameters
• Avoid in patients with iron overload disorders
• Use cautiously in liver disease or active infections
• Emergency treatment facilities should be available
