Orofer Fcm Injection 20ml
Orofer Fcm 500 MG Description
Orofer FCM 1k injection contains ferric carboxy maltose as the active ingredient. It is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia (a condition in which your body has too little of the mineral iron, requi
red to make haemoglobin) in adults. Iron is needed to produce the red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body. The injectable or parenteral form is advised when you could not tolerate or be successfully treated with iron supplements taken by mouth. It works by restoring iron storage in the body to make more red blood cells. It is given as an injection or infusion (saline drip) into a vein by your doctor or nurse. This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital/clinic. Do not self inject, follow any aftercare instructions given by the doctor/nurse.
