Expert Advice

• Always delivered at a clinic or hospital with a doctor present.
• Iron sucrose doesn't usually need a test dose like older IV irons do.
• Keep an eye on:
• Reactions to allergies
• Blood pressure goes down
• Feeling dizzy
• Keep eating a balanced diet that is high in iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12.
• During IV therapy, don't take iron by mouth without talking to your doctor beforehand.
• Keep an eye on the levels of hemoglobin, ferritin, and transferrin.

Side Effects

• Sick to your stomach

• Blood pressure is low
• Cramps in the muscles
• Not as common:

• Serious but not very common:
• A very bad allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
• Tightness in the chest
• Trouble breathing
• Swelling of the lips and face
• If you have a significant response, call for medical attention right away.

 How It Works

• Iron sucrose puts elemental iron directly into the blood.
• Iron is sent to the body's iron reserves, where it is then used to make hemoglobin.
• Helps the body make more red blood cells (RBCs) and gets rid of anemia faster than taking iron by mouth.

Medicine Interaction

• Be careful when using with:
• ACE inhibitors, including Ramipril and Enalapril, may make allergic responses more likely.
• Oral iron supplements may make side effects worse; they are normally not given during IV therapy.
• Do not mix IV antibiotics in the same line or syringe.
• You shouldn't mix other IV iron formulas.
• There aren't many food interactions because the injection goes straight into the bloodstream.

• Management
• Only a healthcare professional can give it.
• Ways:
• IV gentle push for 2 to 5 minutes
• IV infusion mixed with saline for 15 to 30 minutes
• Dosage
• Based on:
• Level of hemoglobin
• Iron need
• Weight of the body

• Important Directions
