Irorich 100mg/5ml Iron Sucrose Injection - 1 Ampoule
Severe iron deficiency anemia—whether due to massive post-surgical blood loss, chronic kidney disease (CKD), or severe gastrointestinal malabsorption—leaves patients dangerously fatigued and breathless. When oral iron pills fail or cause intolerable stomach pain, Irorich Injection provides a rapid, life-saving hematinic rescue. By delivering an intravenous Iron Sucrose complex directly into the bloodstream, it bypasses the digestive tract entirely, immediately supplying the bone marrow with the necessary iron to accelerate red blood cell and hemoglobin production.
How to Use / Operate
For administration by trained healthcare providers only. Strictly administered via slow Intravenous (IV) injection or diluted in 0.9% Normal Saline for a slow IV drip infusion. Must NEVER be injected intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Irorich Injection used for?
It is an intravenous iron replacement therapy used in hospitals to treat severe iron deficiency anemia in patients who cannot take oral iron pills.
Why is it only given intravenously?
Iron sucrose complexes are highly irritating to muscle tissue and can cause severe pain, necrosis, and permanent skin staining if injected anywhere other than directly into a vein.
Important Clinical Considerations
Intravenous iron carries a rare but serious risk of severe anaphylactic shock. Administration must occur in a facility with full resuscitation equipment, and patients must be closely monitored for at least 30 minutes following the infusion. Do not mix with other medications in the same syringe or IV bag.
