What is the most important information I should know about ferumoxsil?
 |
Do not receive this medication if you are allergic to ferumoxsil, or if you have a blocked or perforated intestine. |
Before receiving this medication, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, if you have an iron overload disorder (such as chronic hemolytic anemia) or if you have received frequent blood transfusions. Also tell your doctor if you have a history of hiatal hernia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease, or if you have recently had any nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

After receiving ferumoxsil, call your doctor at once if you have severe stomach pain or cramping, or a skin rash with bruising, severe tingling, numbness, pain, and muscle weakness. |
Less serious side effects are more likely to occur, such as mild stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, or numbness and tingling of your mouth.
