Imax-S Injection

Product Overview

Imax-S Injection is an iron supplement used to treat iron-deficiency anemia, a condition where the body lacks enough iron to produce an adequate amount of red blood cells. These cells are essential for carrying oxygen throughout the body, and insufficient iron can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health issues.

The injection is administered through a slow intravenous drip by a healthcare professional. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and the number of sessions needed to correct the anemia. Alongside this treatment, following a diet rich in iron can further support recovery. Iron-rich foods include pulses, leafy greens like spinach, beans, eggs, dry fruits, and animal-based products.

Some people may experience side effects such as changes in taste, high blood pressure, nausea, and discomfort at the injection site, including pain, swelling, or redness. A temporary drop in blood pressure may occur if the infusion is given too quickly. Medical staff will monitor you during the treatment for allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, swelling of the face, or hives. If side effects persist or worsen, you should seek medical advice.

This medication is not suitable for treating anemia caused by factors other than iron deficiency. It is important to inform your doctor if you have conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, or liver disease, as these may impact your treatment plan. The safety of this medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established, so consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Regular blood tests will be conducted to monitor iron levels, track progress, and watch for any adverse effects. Avoiding alcohol during treatment may also be recommended.

Uses

Iron Deficiency Anemia – A condition where low iron levels result in decreased production of healthy red blood cells.

Benefits

In Iron Deficiency Anemia
When the body lacks sufficient iron from diet or absorption, fewer red blood cells are produced, leading to anemia. Imax-S Injection helps restore iron levels, promoting the formation of red blood cells and improving oxygen transport. This can alleviate symptoms such as tiredness and weakness. It is administered by a healthcare professional and should not be used if the anemia is due to causes other than iron deficiency.

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and resolve as your body adapts to the treatment. Consult your doctor if any symptoms continue or cause discomfort. Common side effects include:

Altered taste

Pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site

Nausea

Temporary low blood pressure

High blood pressure

How to Use

How It Works

Imax-S Injection replenishes the iron reserves in the body, which are essential for producing red blood cells and hemoglobin—the component responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.
