Iron sucrose for Iron Deficiency Anemia "I was scheduled for a 5-week infusion with Venofer. Each session only took an hour. During the infusion, I had no side effects. A week after my last infusion, I started to get pain in my arms, legs, and chest. The second week after my infusion, I had to go to the ER because the chest pain was so bad. The ER gave me a pain reliever and muscle relaxers. When I had infusions with Injectafer, I had no side effects. Never taking this again."

Iron sucrose for Iron Deficiency Anemia "I have a disorder that causes me to lose lots of blood. I was given Venofer, and I still have several side effects, so why can’t someone be accountable for this? I was not told about any side effects. I have a severe headache, I can’t eat without running to the bathroom with diarrhea, I had hair loss, I have an awful cough, heart pains, blurred vision, and worse bloody nosebleeds, so why can’t something be done."

For Iron Deficiency Anemia "I was so sick after every infusion. After my 3rd one, I was sick for 2 weeks: body aches, chest pain, eyes burned, dry eyes, twitching eyelids, dry lips, dry mouth, extreme thirst, stuffy nose, clogged ears that would constantly pop, sob, dizzy, light sensitivity, and so much more. I didn't want a 4th dose because it made me feel so bad, and I wish I had listened to myself. After the 4th infusion, I had even more side effects. I started getting heart palpitations, high heart rate, extreme weakness, insomnia, etc. It's been more than 2 months, and I still have a high heart rate and palpitations, pressure around my eyes when I do a lot of stuff, shortness of breath just walking, and I see floaters and light movements, it's weird to explain. I've been to so many doctors, and nothing was found to be wrong. I felt so good before these infusions. It's a battle to leave bed and feel like garbage for hours, and my heart acts up. I'm on the Zio patch now because my heart rate was going from 80 to 150 just walking... worst drug I've ever had to use."

Iron sucrose for Iron Deficiency Anemia "In January 2023, I had this iron injector and was told it was what I had in the past, but it was not. Within three weeks, I had constipation, then chest pain, feeling a lump in my throat, shortness of breath, headache, and back pain that won't go away. Is anyone else having these issues?"
