Injectafer may help you go the distance

In a clinical study of adults with iron deficiency in heart failure who were treated with Injectafer, a 6-minute walk test was used to assess a person’s ability to perform light exercise. This test measures the distance one can walk in a total of 6 minutes.

People treated with Injectafer also saw significant improvements in their iron levels; ferritin, TSAT, and hemoglobin (Hb).

Injectafer increased the distance study participants could walk by 82 feet

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

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.

Tips for after your infusion

  • Track your PROGRESS

    by keeping a record of how you’re feeling.

  • Call your healthcare professional

    if you’re experiencing side effects.

  • Follow up with your healthcare professional

    to see how well your treatment is working. You may need an additional maintenance dose of Injectafer.

†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.

IV=intravenous.
