What is Triferic?

Triferic is an iron replacement product. You normally get iron from the foods you eat. Iron helps your body produce red blood cells that carry oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs.

Triferic is used to treat iron deficiency in people with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis.

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

Warnings

You should not use Triferic if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to any injected iron product.

How should I use Triferic

Your doctor will perform blood tests to make sure you do not have conditions that would prevent you from safely using Triferic.

Triferic is added directly to the dialyzer fluid and given during hemodialysis.

You will be watched closely to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction.

A healthcare provider will give you this injection. Triferic is not for use with home hemodialysis.

You will need frequent medical tests.
