Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Injectafer (Ferric Carboxymaltose) is used to treat iron-deficiency anemia in adults and children 1 year and older, non-dialysis chronic kidney disease in adults, and heart failure (NYHA class II or III) with iron deficiency in adults. This iron replacement infusion is administered intravenously, allowing the body to immediately absorb and use the iron supplement. It’s a preferred method of administration for people who don’t tolerate oral iron supplements or find them ineffective. Injectafer increases hemoglobin and energy levels and improves fatigue or shortness of breath, which are symptoms often associated with low iron.
Injectafer contains 50 mg of iron per mL. It’s available in single-dose vials in the following strengths:
Factors such as your exact cause of treatment, weight, and hemoglobin levels determine your dose:
Iron Deficiency Anemia
The most common dosing schedule of Injectafer when given to treat iron deficiency anemia is 750 mg, followed by the same amount 7 days later (a total of 1,500 mg per treatment course). This applies to most adults weighing 50 kg (110 lbs) or more. Some adult patients may also receive a single larger dose, up to 1,000, depending on their weight, instead of two separate doses. In contrast, patients weighing less than 50 kg (110 lbs) typically receive two split doses of 15 mg per kg, with at least 7 days separating both.
Heart Failure with Iron Deficiency Anemia
If you are an adult weighing under 70 kg (154 lbs):
Hemoglobin level is under 10: You may receive 1000 mg on day 1 and 500 mg in week 6.
Hemoglobin level is between 10 and 14: You may receive a single dose of 1,000 mg.
Hemoglobin level between 14 and 15: You typically will receive a single 500 mg dose of Injectafer.
If you weigh 70 kg (154 lbs) or more:
Hemoglobin level is under 10: Your doctor will typically administer 1,000 mg initially, followed by another 1,000 mg 6 weeks later.
Hemoglobin level is between 10 and 14: Your doctor may prescribe 1,000 mg on day 1 and 500 mg in week 6.
Hemoglobin level is between 14 and 15: You're likely to receive a single 500 mg dose.
Injectafer infusion is given by a healthcare professional only, either as a slow IV push or as an infusion lasting at least 15 minutes. It can be diluted in saline or given as is. During administration, a healthcare professional will monitor for skin leakage to avoid long-lasting discoloration.
The active ingredient in Injectafer is ferric carboxymaltose.
The inactive ingredient is water for injection. Additionally, sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid may be used to adjust the pH to 5.0-7.0.
Do not take Injectafer if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the active or inactive components of this medication.
Commonly reported but often manageable:
Serious side effects:
This list of possible Injectafer side effects is not exhaustive. Seek medical help immediately if you experience persistent or severe side effects.
