FAQs

Irozorb FCM Injection acts as a source of iron and helps in the transportation of oxygen throughout the body and the production of red blood cells. Thereby, Irozorb FCM Injection helps in treating anaemia.

Irozorb FCM Injection might cause hypophosphatemia (low phosphorus levels). Inform your doctor if you experience symptoms such as severe tiredness, bone or muscle pain, as these could be a sign of low phosphorus levels. Regular monitoring of phosphorus levels whilst on treatment with Irozorb FCM Injection is advised.

Consult your doctor if you have hypertension as Irozorb FCM Injection might cause high blood pressure, sometimes accompanied by dizziness, facial flushing, or nausea. Your doctor will monitor for signs and symptoms of hypertension while on treatment with Irozorb FCM Injection.

Irozorb FCM Injection might cause the stools to appear darker than usual; this is due to the elimination of unabsorbed iron. Do not worry, as it is normal and harmless. Consult a doctor if this bothers you or if you notice blood in your stools.

Oral iron preparations will be less effective when taken along with Irozorb FCM Injection. Inform your doctor if you are taking oral iron preparations or any supplements.
