Iron sucrose (IS), sold under the brand name Venofer, is a medication used to treat iron deficiency anemia in people with chronic kidney disease.[1] In this group it works better than iron by mouth.[1] It is given by gradual injection into a vein.[1]
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea,low blood pressure, itchiness, joint pain, and swelling.[1] Other side effects may include anaphylaxis.[1] It may have less side effects than iron dextran.[1] Iron sucrose replaces iron in the blood to foster red blood cell production.
Iron sucrose was approved for medical use in the United States in 2000; however, has been previously used in Europe.[2][3] In the United Kingdom 100 mg costs the NHS about £10 as of 2021.[4] This amount in the United States is about 60 USD.[5]
