Axifer Injection 2.5 ML

Axifer Injection 2.5 ML is used for the following:

• Management of iron deficiency anaemia: This condition occurs when your body lacks enough healthy red blood cells due to insufficient iron levels.
• Restoration of iron stores in your body: It helps replenish depleted iron reserves, essential for the production of red blood cells.
• Treatment of anaemia in patients with chronic kidney disease: It's particularly beneficial if you're on haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.

• A healthcare professional should administer this injection in a hospital or clinical setting.
• It's important to attend all scheduled appointments and follow-up visits to monitor your response to treatment and assess your iron status.
• Your doctor can provide specific advice based on your condition.

Axifer Injection 2.5 ML is administered intravenously.

Axifer Injection 2.5 ML contains iron sucrose (100 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Iron Sucrose Dissociation: Once Axifer Injection 2.5 ML is administered intravenously, the iron sucrose dissociates into iron and sucrose within your body's reticuloendothelial system.
• Iron Transportation: The released iron is then transported, incorporated into the haemoglobin in red blood cells, and stored in ferritin, the body's iron storage protein.
• Iron Supply Increase: By increasing the supply of iron, Axifer Injection 2.5 ML stimulates the production of haemoglobin and red blood cells, thereby addressing the underlying cause of iron deficiency anaemia.

• Keep Axifer Injection 2.5 ML in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
• The ideal storage temperature is below 25°C.
• Avoid moisture exposure to the injection vial.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're managing iron deficiency anaemia, try to include iron-rich foods in your diet, such as lean red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and cereals fortified with iron.
• Since Axifer Injection 2.5 ML is beneficial for chronic kidney disease patients, maintaining a balanced diet low in salt and high-quality protein can help manage your condition better. Always consult your doctor for specific dietary recommendations.
