HB Need Injection

HB Need Injection is an iron supplement formulated with Iron Sucrose (20mg/ml). It is primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia, particularly in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) or those who cannot tolerate oral iron supplements. HB Need Injection replenishes the body's iron stores, supports red blood cell production, and helps improve symptoms such as fatigue and weakness. Administered intravenously under medical supervision, this injection ensures faster iron absorption and better patient outcomes compared to oral iron therapy.

Uses of HB Need Injection

• Treats iron deficiency anemia
• Recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Effective for individuals unresponsive or intolerant to oral iron
• Helps increase hemoglobin and improve oxygen delivery in the body

How HB Need Injection Works

HB Need Injection delivers iron sucrose directly into the bloodstream. The iron is absorbed by the bone marrow and used to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. This process helps restore depleted iron levels, improve oxygen transport, and relieve symptoms of anemia.

Benefits of HB Need Injection

• Faster and more effective correction of iron deficiency
• Reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to oral iron
• Suitable for dialysis and non-dialysis patients with CKD
• Improves fatigue, energy levels, and overall health

HB Need Injection should only be administered by a healthcare professional through intravenous (IV) injection or infusion. The dosage and treatment schedule depend on your iron levels, hemoglobin count, and medical condition. Do not self-administer. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and attend regular follow-up appointments for blood tests and treatment assessment.
