Frequently asked questions

Is Ferric Carboxymaltose considered safe during pregnancy?

There is limited data on the use of Ferric Carboxymaltose in pregnancy. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Consult your doctor if pregnancy occurs during treatment, as they will determine whether to continue or discontinue the medication.

Can Ferric Carboxymaltose lead to increased blood pressure?

Yes, Ferric Carboxymaltose may cause a temporary rise in blood pressure, along with facial flushing, dizziness, and nausea, typically occurring shortly after administration and resolving within 30 minutes.

How frequently can Ferric Carboxymaltose be re-administered?

Typically, two doses are administered 7 days apart. Hemoglobin levels should be assessed at least 4 weeks after the final injection to allow for red blood cell formation. If iron deficiency persists, re-administration may be considered based on individual needs.

How should Ferric Carboxymaltose vials be stored prior to use?

Ferric Carboxymaltose vials should be stored at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) and must not be frozen. The storage temperature should not exceed 30°C (86°F) or drop below 15°C (59°F).

What precautions should be taken when administering Ferric Carboxymaltose?

Ferric Carboxymaltose should only be administered by trained staff capable of managing severe allergic reactions. It can be given as an undiluted injection directly into the vein or via a dialyzer for dialysis patients. Alternatively, it may be diluted with sodium chloride for infusion. Patients must be monitored for at least 30 minutes post-injection, and it should not be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly.

What should be done if there is leakage during the administration of Ferric Carboxymaltose?

If leakage occurs, administration must be stopped immediately to prevent skin irritation and potential long-lasting brown discoloration at the site.
