BISLERI -S 100MG/5ML INJ
Bisleri‑S 100 mg/5 mL injection is a prescription intravenous iron sucrose formulation, used primarily to quickly correct iron deficiency anemia when oral iron isn't sufficient or tolerated. It's especially helpful in cases such as:
-
Iron deficiency anemia from chronic kidney disease (hemodialysis patients)
-
Pregnant or lactating women in the 2nd/3rd trimester
-
Inflammatory bowel disease with malabsorption
-
When rapid iron repletion is needed (e.g., post‑surgery, heavy bleeding)
✅ How It Works & Benefits
By bypassing the digestive tract, iron sucrose delivers iron directly into the bloodstream, rapidly replenishing iron stores and increasing hemoglobin production. This often leads to improved energy levels and reduced symptoms of anemia within days to weeks

Pain, burning, swelling, or redness at the injection site
