FAQs

SUEZ INJECTION 5ML contains Iron. It works by boosting the production of red blood cells (RBC) in the body, thus treating iron deficiency and its associated anaemia.
SUEZ INJECTION 5ML should be used with caution and only under doctor's supervision if you have heart, liver or kidney diseases, low blood pressure, iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis, lupus (immune disorder), rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and eczema.
SUEZ INJECTION 5ML can be given to patients above 65 years of age under the supervision of a doctor. However, due to the reduced liver, kidney and heart function in older people who also use other medicines, SUEZ INJECTION 5ML should be cautiously administered.
SUEZ INJECTION 5ML may cause constipation as one of its side effects. Eating fibre-rich foods like vegetables, fresh fruits, and cereals and drinking plenty of water can help relieve symptoms.
Antacids may interfere with the absorption of iron. Hence it is advised to take SUEZ INJECTION 5ML two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.

About SUEZ INJECTION 5ML

SUEZ INJECTION 5ML belongs to a class of 'haematinics,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency and anaemia (deficiency of iron and haemoglobin). Iron deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food or increased folate use in the body (during pregnancy). Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry the adequate oxygen required to various body tissues.

SUEZ INJECTION 5ML contains 'Iron,' an essential body mineral. It is a nutritional supplement required by the red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. Combining with a protein in the blood called haemoglobin, iron helps carry adequate oxygen to various body parts. It improves the quality of blood by increasing levels of haemoglobin (blood protein) and red blood cells. SUEZ INJECTION 5ML also has immunity-enhancing, anti-carcinogenic (preventing cancer), and cognition-enhancing properties.

This medicine will be administered by a healthcare professional. Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. In some cases, it may cause side effects like muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, taste changes, diarrhoea, constipation, headache, cough, back pain, flu symptoms, joint pain, and dizziness. Most of these side effects of SUEZ INJECTION 5ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, and intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis) before starting SUEZ INJECTION 5ML. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult the doctor before using SUEZ INJECTION 5ML. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor before using SUEZ INJECTION 5ML. This medicine may cause dizziness, hence drive or operate machinery with caution. SUEZ INJECTION 5ML is recommended in children above two years of age when prescribed by the doctor.
