Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drug-drug interactions involving sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection have not been studied. Sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection may reduce the absorption of concomitantly administered oral iron preparations.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity during and after sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection administration for at least 30 minutes and until clinically stable following completion of the infusion. Only administer sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection when personnel and therapies are immediately available for the treatment of anaphylaxis and other hypersensitivity reactions. ( 5.1 ) Hypotension: Sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection may cause hypotension. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypotension during and following each sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection dose. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to sodium ferric gluconate or any of its components. Reactions have included anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ]. Known hypersensitivity to sodium ferric gluconate or any of its inactive components. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Parenteral iron administration may be associated with hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ], which may have serious consequences, such as fetal bradycardia (see Clinical Considerations ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Available data from postmarketing reports with sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection use in pregnancy are insufficient to assess the risk of major birth defects and miscarriage. Sodium ferric gluconate complex in sucrose injection contains benzyl alcohol as a preservative.
