General Information on Venofer
Venofer is an intravenous iron sucrose infusion specifically given to anemic patients. The generic name of the drug is iron sucrose injection. It is a sterile, brown, aqueous composition of polynuclear iron (III)-hydroxide in sucrose. Venofer replenishes the body’s iron stores and thus keeps anemia under control. The drug is highly recommended to treat iron deficiency in adult patients who have non-dialysis dependent-chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD).
Venofer can be safely given to patients having NDD-CKD in both conditions, i.e. those who receive an erythropoietin and those who do not receive an erythropoietin. It is also recommended for treating iron deficiency for other kidney diseases in adults such as hemodialysis dependent-chronic kidney disease (HDD-CKD) (receiving an erythropoietin), peritoneal dialysis dependent-chronic kidney disease (PDD-CKD) (receiving an erythropoietin). Venofer is intended for patients whose doctor has determined that you have iron deficiency anemia related to chronic kidney disease
Venofer Side Effects
Some patients may experience side effects after taking Venofer such as cramps, headaches, diarrhea, and nausea. Though these side effects are less severe, you should notify your doctor if they become bothersome or persist for a long time. Some patients may also experience severe allergic reactions after taking Venofer, such as tightness in the chest, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, mouth, tongue, or lips, hives, rashes, convulsions, and loss of consciousness. You should immediately talk to your doctor if you notice or experience any allergic reactions. These allergic reactions are serious in nature and require immediate medical attention.
Precautions
You should inform your doctor about any allergies or if you are allergic to any intravenous iron injection before you are recommended the dosage of the drug to cure anemia. Women should also inform their doctor about their pregnancy or if they are breastfeeding. You should buy Venofer only after consulting your doctor.
Dosage
The drug needs to be injected in the vein and so, the dosage of Venofer is always given by a doctor or healthcare professional. Venofer is available in 2.5 mL (50 mg), 5 mL (500 mg) and 10 mL (200 mg) single dose vials. In a majority of cases, a cumulative dose of 1000 mg is given to NDD-CKD patients by giving Venofer 200mg 5 times in a 14 day period.
PDD-CKD patients are also given a cumulative dosage of 1000mg in a 28 day period. They are given 2 infusions of 300 mg (1 Venofer 200 mg + 2 Venofer 50 mg) in 1.5 hours in 14 days and one 400 mg (2 Venofer 200mg) over 2.5 hours 14 days later. HDD-CKD patients are given undiluted 100 mg of the drug, which is two Venofer 50mg over a period of 15 minutes per consecutive hemodialysis session.
Interactions
This drug may react with vitamin products and other products containing iron. You should provide your doctor with a list of all medications including the over the counter medications (non-prescriptions) and herbal products that you take to treat common ailments. You should not make the decision of starting, stopping, or reducing the dosage of the medicines on your own. It is necessary that you consult your doctor for any decision about the dosage of other medications when you are taking Venofer.
