Macfe Injection

Macfe Injection is an iron replacement medicine used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It contains Iron Sucrose (20mg/ml), which helps restore low iron levels in the body. This injectable form is especially beneficial for patients who are unable to tolerate or respond adequately to oral iron supplements. Macfe Injection is commonly prescribed for individuals with chronic kidney disease, pregnant women, or those recovering from significant blood loss. Administered under medical supervision, this injection ensures quick absorption of iron, helping the body produce healthy red blood cells and maintain proper oxygen supply.

Uses of Macfe Injection

• Treatment of iron deficiency anemia

• Anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

• Iron supplementation during pregnancy

• Management of blood loss-induced anemia

How Macfe Injection works

Macfe Injection delivers iron sucrose directly into the bloodstream. This iron binds with carrier proteins and travels to the bone marrow, where it helps in the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells. As hemoglobin increases, oxygen delivery to tissues improves, reducing symptoms of fatigue and weakness associated with anemia.

Benefits of Macfe Injection

• Fast and efficient correction of iron deficiency

• Ideal for patients who cannot take oral iron

• Improves energy levels and overall vitality

• Safe and effective during pregnancy under medical supervision

How to take Macfe Injection

Macfe Injection should be administered by a healthcare professional, either as a slow intravenous injection or an infusion diluted in saline. The dosage and frequency depend on the severity of the anemia, body weight, and individual response. Never self-administer this injection at home without proper medical guidance.
