Description

Description

FCM 500 mg / 10 ml injection iv is an intravenous medicine that contains Ferric Carboxymaltose which acts as an iron replacement and treats iron deficiency anaemia (lack of iron in the blood) in patients with chronic kidney disease, who are not dependent on dialysis (CKD) and those who are using iron supplements that aren't working. It acts by replenishing the iron in our red blood cells, which allows oxygen to circulate throughout the body.

Key Benefits

Ferric carboxymaltose injection is used for treating iron-deficiency anaemia in individuals who cannot tolerate or cannot be treated satisfactorily with iron supplements that are taken orally.
