Composition

Each 10 ml vial contains:

• Ferric Carboxymaltose 500 mg

For intravenous (IV) use only.

Mechanism of Action

Ferric Carboxymaltose works by:

• Delivering iron in a stable complex directly into the bloodstream
• Gradually releasing iron for hemoglobin production
• Supporting red blood cell formation (erythropoiesis)
• Replenishing depleted iron stores in the body
• Improving oxygen transport capacity

This results in faster correction of anemia compared to oral iron therapy.

Ferisen Injection is indicated for:

• Iron Deficiency Anemia
• Patients intolerant to oral iron supplements
• Malabsorption syndromes affecting iron absorption
• Chronic blood loss-related anemia
• Postpartum or pregnancy-associated iron deficiency (as prescribed)
