Description
Venofer (iron sucrose) 100 mg/5 mL vial is an intravenous iron replacement therapy used for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is administered when oral iron supplementation is ineffective or intolerable. Venofer replenishes iron stores and supports hemoglobin synthesis, improving oxygen transport and reducing anemia-related symptoms.
The mechanism of action involves delivering iron directly into the bloodstream in a stabilized sucrose complex, allowing for controlled release to transferrin and incorporation into hemoglobin and myoglobin. Venofer is indicated for non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients, peritoneal dialysis patients, and hemodialysis patients receiving erythropoietin-stimulating agents.
Common adverse effects include hypotension, nausea, headache, dizziness, and injection site reactions. Serious reactions, such as anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity, and iron overload, require immediate medical attention. Patients should be monitored for signs of hypersensitivity and serum ferritin and transferrin saturation levels to prevent iron toxicity.
