About Ferium 1K Injection 20 Ml (Ferric Carboxymaltose)

• Ferium 1K Injection 20 ml contains Ferric Carboxymaltose (Iron) as an active constituent and used in the treatment of different types of Anaemias, iron deficiencies in pregnancy, infancy or childhood. 
• Iron forms a protein, haemoglobin in RBCs which helps in transportation of oxygen throughout the body, thus making an individual feel energetic. Folic acid can be used in combination with Iron to treat various types of anaemias. 
• Anaemia is the condition in which RBCs either get destroyed or become dysfunctional because of the presence of unhealthy proteins (Haemoglobin), which directly affect the binding and transport of oxygen to the body tissues. Hence, it affects the activities of the body leading to excessive fatigue and weakness, complications during pregnancy, or raises the chances of heart problems. Anaemias may be acute (for a short duration) or chronic (life-long). There are different types of anaemias like Pernicious, Aplastic, normocytic, megaloblastic, Nutritional, Hemolytic, Sickle cell Anaemia, and others associated with bone marrow disease & inflammatory disease. They may have the following underlined causes:
• Loss of blood due to accidental injuries and menstrual bleeding
• Less availability of iron in your diet which is needed for the production of healthy haemoglobin for RBCs
• Lack of folate or folic acid (Vitamin B9) and vitamin B12 which are responsible for the synthesis of healthy RBCs
• Diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Chronic Ulcers, kidney disease, Crohn's disease and other acute or chronic inflammatory diseases 
• Frequent use of few over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like pain relievers (aspirin), which can cause inflammation of the stomach lining resulting in blood loss
• Bone marrow disorders to synthesize enough RBCs
• Poor diet intake 
• Poor absorption of folic acid, iron, and other vitamins from the intestine.
