Product Information

Folvine H Iron Injection contains Iron Sucrose (100mg/5ml) and is used to treat iron deficiency anemia, especially in patients who cannot tolerate oral iron supplements or have conditions like chronic kidney disease. It is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional to quickly replenish iron stores in the body. Iron sucrose helps in the production of hemoglobin, improving oxygen transport and correcting iron deficiency. This injection is commonly used in patients undergoing dialysis or those who are pregnant and have iron deficiency anemia. It is highly effective for rapid iron replenishment and improving overall energy levels and blood health.

How to Use

Folvine H Iron Injection should be administered intravenously (IV) by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. It is typically given either as an IV infusion or a slow IV injection.

The dosage depends on the severity of the iron deficiency and the patient's specific needs.

How it Works

Folvine H Iron Injection works by replenishing iron stores in the body. Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which is necessary for the transport of oxygen in the blood. Iron sucrose is a form of iron that can be efficiently absorbed by the body when administered intravenously. Once iron is introduced into the bloodstream, it is transported to the bone marrow, where it is incorporated into red blood cells, improving oxygen-carrying capacity and correcting iron deficiency anemia. The injectable form ensures rapid and effective replenishment, especially in cases where oral iron supplementation is ineffective or not tolerated.

Interactions with Drugs

  • 1) Using iron sucrose injection alongside oral iron supplements or antacids may reduce its effectiveness. It's best to avoid using them together unless advised by a doctor.
  • 2) Avoid the concomitant use of Folvine H iron injection with antibiotics like ciprofloxacin as these antibiotics may interact with iron and reduce its absorption.
  • 3) Avoid the concomitant use of folvine H iron injection with ACE inhibitors as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure during infusion, especially in patients with kidney disease.

Quick Tips

1) Always administer under medical supervision.
2) Avoid rapid infusion as it increases the chances of hypotension.
