Muscle cramps are considered a common side effect of Venofer (iron sucrose).

Your doctor would be the best person to advise you on your treatment. All drugs have risks (including side effects) and benefits. Drug treatment is a matter of weighing up the risks and the benefits, and your doctor will decide the most suitable course of treatment for you.
Iron treatment is considered safe while iron levels remain within the normal range. Your iron levels should be being monitored through regular blood tests and the dosing adjusted accordingly.
