Introduction

Revofer 1000mg Injection contains Ferric Carboxymaltose, an injectable form of iron. It is used for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in patients who cannot tolerate oral iron supplements or in those where oral therapy is not effective. By restoring healthy iron levels, it helps the body produce more red blood cells and improves oxygen supply throughout the body.
