This medication is used to treat "iron-poor" blood (anemia) in people with long-term kidney disease and using a certain class of drug (man-made form of erythropoietin). You may need extra iron because of blood loss during kidney dialysis. Your body may also need more iron to help erythropoietin make new red blood cells.Iron is an important part of your red blood cells and is needed to transport oxygen in the body. Many people with kidney disease cannot get enough iron from food and require injections.
This medication is given by injection slowly into a vein or into your dialysis line by a health care professional.
Severe dizziness or fainting (hypotension) may occur while you are receiving iron given by injection. This may be helped by giving the medication more slowly or at a lower dose. Follow your doctor's directions carefully.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and lab tests.
If you are using this medication at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
