What is Iron Sucrose?

Iron sucrose is used to treat iron deficiency anemia in people with kidney disease.

Iron sucrose is for use in adults and children at least 2 years old.

Iron sucrose is not for treating other forms of anemia not caused by iron deficiency.

Iron sucrose may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

You should not be treated with this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to an iron injection.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • hemochromatosis or iron overload (the buildup of excess iron).

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Iron sucrose can harm an unborn baby if you have a severe reaction to this medicine during your second or third trimester. However, not treating iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy may cause complications such as premature birth or low birth weight. The benefit of treating your condition during pregnancy may outweigh any risks.

If you are breastfeeding, tell your doctor if you notice diarrhea or constipation in the nursing baby.

How should I use Iron Sucrose

Use Iron Sucrose (Injection)(Intravenous) exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Iron sucrose is given as an infusion into a vein. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

This medicine is sometimes given slowly, and the infusion can take up to 2.5 hours to complete.

Tell your caregivers if you feel any burning, pain, or swelling around the IV needle when iron sucrose is injected.

You will be watched closely for at least 30 minutes to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction.

You will need frequent medical tests to help your doctor determine how long to treat you with iron sucrose.

What should I do if I missed a dose of Iron Sucrose (Injection)(Intravenous)?

Call your doctor for instructions if you miss an appointment for your iron sucrose injection.
