Iron sucrose is typically administered as an injection, and the dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the anemia and the patient’s response to the medication. The usual dosage for adults is 200-300 mg per week, divided into several injections.
As with any medication, iron sucrose may cause side effects in some people. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal problems such as nausea or vomiting. Rare but serious side effects may include allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening.
It is important to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider when taking iron sucrose, and to report any side effects or concerns you may have. Your healthcare provider will monitor your iron levels and adjust your dosage as needed to ensure that you receive the optimal treatment for your anemia.
