For Iron Deficiency Anemia "My experience with this drug was bad. I had my first iron infusion at 11 in the morning, and about 4 in the afternoon, I was in the ER. I had tremendous body aches and a headache; I was vomiting very violently (to mention only a few symptoms). At the ER, they did blood work and determined that my iron levels were five times the normal. I see in the other comments from other patients that their injection took them about 2 hours; mine took about 5 minutes."

For Iron Deficiency Anemia "I have had 1 dose of 200 ml IV Venofer administered over a 2-hour period. I have noticed that this week I am very tired, have muscle aches, and a few episodes of intestinal pain. At the time of administration of my first dose, I got a headache about 15 minutes after the start of the transfusion and also about 5 minutes before the end of the session. Up to 15 minutes after, I felt sick to my stomach and like I was going to vomit. Sure hope this works, I have 4 more sessions to go."

For Iron Deficiency Anemia "I’m a dialysis patient who is receiving Venofer through injection in treatments. I experience nausea, a vomiting sensation as soon as one drop hits my system. It sends a signal to my smell sensors, which makes me smell old pancake syrup and then begins to turn my stomach into a violent expulsion machine. If this is a side effect that could be harmful, I would like to know what to do."

For Iron Deficiency Anemia "Worst experience ever. I was fine during the infusion. I had the reaction during the observation time. Hands swelled up, vomiting, pains in leg that I couldn't walk. I will never get that again."
