FE 10 INJECTION

Introduction:

FE-10 Injection contains elemental iron. It is a replacement product used in chronic kidney disease patients to treat iron deficiency anemia. Iron is essential to form hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells which carry oxygen to the body tissues and organs. In iron deficiency anemia, there is not sufficient iron in the body leads to a lack of healthy red blood cells. It is given to treat iron deficiency when you cannot take iron by mouth, as the iron tablets make you feel ill or it have not worked. 

 

FE-10 Injection is not given when a shortage of iron does not cause anemia and when there is a problem in how the body uses iron. Talk to your doctor if you have a history of medicine allergy, asthma, infections, liver problems, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus (a disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the healthy tissue). It is not recommended for use in children.
