More iron in less time vs Oral Iron*

Injectafer is an intravenous (IV) iron replacement product that is used to treat iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

The Injectafer difference

Iron supplement icon

Even in healthy patients, when taking oral iron, less than 10% is absorbed by the body.*

Versus
IV iron icon

With Injectafer, 100% of the iron goes directly into the bloodstream.

INJECTAFER GETS YOU MORE IRON IN LESS TIME VS ORAL IRON*

AND THE MOST IRON OF ANY IV IRON PER COURSE OF TREATMENT†

Injectafer is the only IV iron that provides up to 1500 mg of iron in 2 doses of up to 750 mg each at least 7 days apart.

1st dose of INJECTAFER®: a single-dose vial with 750mg

1st administration up to 750 mg of iron

If you weigh less than 110 pounds, you may be given a smaller amount of Injectafer. Your healthcare professional will decide on the most appropriate way to give you your treatment:
  • By injection, directly into a vein
  • By infusion, diluted in normal saline and given directly into a vein

Injectafer is also available as a 100 mg iron/2 mL single-dose vial.

THE WHERE, WHO, AND WHEN OF GETTING INJECTAFER

The location

Injectafer is given by IV infusion, usually at an infusion center, where a healthcare professional can administer it directly into the bloodstream through a vein.

The providers

Infusion centers are medical facilities equipped and staffed for administering infusions.

The timing

Each Injectafer infusion may take about 15 minutes. Afterward, your healthcare professional will monitor you for about 30 minutes for signs of an allergic reaction.

If you are at risk for low serum phosphate, your healthcare professional may monitor your serum phosphate levels if you require a second course of treatment of Injectafer (beyond 2 administrations of up to 750 mg each, at least 7 days apart) or if you receive a repeat course of treatment within 3 months. Your healthcare professional can discuss risk factors for low serum phosphate with you.

Injectafer Side Effects

With Injectafer, you may experience side effects. Your healthcare professional will monitor you after your infusion for any signs or symptoms of allergic reactions, usually for 30 minutes.

Common side effects of Injectafer include:

  • Nausea
  • High blood pressure
  • Flushing
  • Injection site reactions
  • Headache
  • Low levels of phosphorus in your blood
  • Dizziness
  • Vomiting

These are not all the possible side effects of Injectafer. Serious or life-threatening allergic reactions have been reported with intravenous iron products.

Tell your healthcare professional if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reactions to IV iron.

Talk to your healthcare professional if you have any signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction to Injectafer, including rashes, shortness of breath, or wheezing, or for medical advice about side effects. 

You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

*Oral iron is typically taken in 300 mg or 320 mg tablets 3-4 times a day. The body is unable to absorb that much iron in the digestive tract at one time, so iron repletion may be possible in smaller oral iron doses over time.

†For iron deficiency anemia (IDA), one course of treatment is 2 doses of 750 mg separated by at least 7 days. For patients weighing less than 50 kg (110 lb), the recommended dosage is Injectafer 15 mg/kg body weight intravenously in 2 doses separated by at least 7 days per course.
