Fercari Ingredients and Usage

The active ingredient is Iron Sucrose, a complex of ferric iron and sucrose. It is administered by slow intravenous injection or infusion, typically in doses of 100-200mg per session, under medical supervision.

Fercari is clinically indicated for:

• Iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease patients
• Anemia when oral iron preparations are ineffective
• Patients requiring rapid iron supplementation
• Iron deficiency in postpartum women
• Preoperative anemia management

How Does Fercari Work?

Fercari provides efficient iron delivery through controlled release mechanism:

1. Stable Complex: Iron sucrose complex prevents premature iron release
2. Reticuloendothelial Uptake: Rapidly taken up by the reticuloendothelial system
3. Iron Transfer: Iron is released and transferred to transferrin for hemoglobin synthesis
4. Hemoglobin Production: Supports erythropoiesis and increases hemoglobin levels

Fercari Side Effects and Warnings

Common side effects include nausea, headache, hypotension, and injection site reactions. Most reactions are mild and transient.

Serious Considerations

1. Hypersensitivity Reactions: May cause anaphylactoid reactions – administer in monitored settings
2. Hypotension: Can cause transient hypotension during administration
3. Overload Risk: Avoid in patients with iron overload disorders
4. Laboratory Interference: May affect magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results
5. Hepatic/Renal Impairment: Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney dysfunction

Fercari Storage Conditions

Fercari Injection requires proper storage conditions:

• Store below 25°C in original packaging
• Protect from light and freezing
