Elinjec Injection 500/10ml contains Ferric Carboxymaltose, an intravenous iron preparation. Made by Sami Pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for iron deficiency anaemia. Pack size: 10ml.

Uses of Elinjec Injection 500/10ml

Elinjec Injection 500/10ml is given by infusion to replenish iron stores quickly in people with iron deficiency anaemia. It is used when iron tablets have not worked, cannot be tolerated or are not absorbed, or when iron needs to be restored rapidly, for example in later pregnancy, before surgery, or in people with kidney disease, heart failure or bowel conditions.

How Elinjec Injection 500/10ml works

Ferric carboxymaltose is a stable iron complex that releases iron gradually once in the bloodstream. The iron is taken up and stored by the body, then used by the bone marrow to make haemoglobin and new red blood cells, correcting anaemia over the following weeks.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Elinjec Injection 500/10ml are usually mild. The more common ones are:

• Headache
