Uses of FCM 500 mg / 10 ml Injection Iv

FCM 500 mg / 10 ml Injection Iv is given by infusion to replenish iron stores quickly in people with iron deficiency anaemia.

How FCM 500 mg / 10 ml Injection Iv 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.
