Ferium-500 Injection contains Ferric Carboxymaltose (50 mg) which acts on the body as follows:

• Gradual Release of Iron: Ferric Carboxymaltose is a stable complex that gradually releases iron into your system after being administered.

• Iron Uptake by Reticuloendothelial System: The reticuloendothelial system, mainly found in your liver and spleen, absorbs the Ferric Carboxymaltose from the injection.

• Iron Storage and Transportation: Once absorbed, the iron released from Ferric Carboxymaltose enters the intracellular storage iron pool as ferritin or gets transferred to plasma transferrin for transport to erythroid precursor cells.

• Stimulation of Red Blood Cell Production: This transported iron is incorporated into haemoglobin in erythroid precursor cells which helps stimulate the production of red blood cells, thereby managing anaemia effectively.

• Store Ferium-500 Injection at room temperature, ideally between 8°C to 25°C.

• Protect the medicine from exposure to light.

• Keep Ferium-500 Injection in a safe place, out of sight and reach of children.

• To manage iron deficiency anemia effectively, add more iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and red meat to your diet.

• Engage in regular light physical activity such as walking or yoga to help boost your energy levels and combat fatigue associated with anemia.
