Monoferric® Injection for Iron Deficiency Anemia

Monoferric is an intravenous iron therapy for iron deficiency anemia in adults. It is given by a healthcare professional, often as a single session. Border Free Health offers access with US shipping from Canada, and you can pay cash if you are without insurance.

What Monoferric Is and How It Works

Monoferric® contains ferric derisomaltose, a complex of iron and a carbohydrate that allows controlled iron release. This lets your body rebuild iron stores that support red blood cell production. The complex is designed to deliver iron to transferrin and ferritin while limiting free iron that may cause reactions. A Ferric derisomaltose injection is administered intravenously in a clinic or infusion center.

Border Free Health connects U.S. patients with licensed Canadian partner pharmacies; prescriptions are verified with prescribers before dispensing.

This treatment may be considered when oral iron is ineffective, not tolerated, or when rapid repletion is preferred. Your clinician will confirm iron deficiency anemia with labs and determine if IV iron is appropriate. See the official label for full indications and safety details.

Who It’s For

This medicine is indicated for adults with iron deficiency anemia who have not responded to oral iron, cannot take it, or need rapid iron repletion. It may be used in chronic kidney disease, inflammatory conditions, or postpartum settings when clinically appropriate. Your healthcare professional will assess lab values, symptoms, and the underlying cause of anemia.

It is not for patients with known hypersensitivity to IV iron products or any component of the formulation. People with evidence of iron overload or disturbances in iron utilization should avoid this therapy. Those with active systemic infection require careful evaluation before proceeding.

Some patients with chronic kidney disease may also receive other anemia treatments. For background on erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, see Aranesp Prefilled Syringe. For CKD-related mineral balance, your clinician may discuss options like Velphoro as part of broader care.

Dosage and Usage

The regimen is based on your weight, iron need, and clinical judgment. Many adults receive a single session designed to restore iron stores, with follow-up labs guiding further care. A Ferric derisomaltose infusion is administered by trained staff, often over a short period, with observation for reactions during and after administration. Some patients may need an additional dose, scheduled at a later date, depending on response and laboratory results.

Administration takes place in a supervised setting. Staff will check vital signs and watch for signs of hypersensitivity or hypotension. Your clinician will provide instructions on what to expect before, during, and after the visit.

Strengths and Forms

This therapy is supplied as a sterile solution for intravenous use. Commonly published presentations include single-dose vials such as Monoferric 1000 mg (for example, 100 mg/mL in a 10 mL vial). Availability can vary by market and batch. Your dispensing pharmacy will provide the specific presentation listed on your prescription.

Confirm the exact strength and volume on the vial label. Your infusion center will prepare the dose according to the order and product instructions.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a scheduled visit, contact the clinic to reschedule. Timing for subsequent doses, if required, is determined by your clinician. Do not attempt to self-administer this therapy. Keep all follow-up lab appointments so your care team can assess iron stores and adjust plans.

Storage and Travel Basics

Storage is handled by the dispensing pharmacy and the clinic that administers the infusion. The product is typically kept at controlled room temperature and protected from light per the label. Do not freeze. If you are transporting the sealed vial to a clinic, keep it in the original carton and follow the pharmacy’s instructions. Keep it out of reach of children.

When traveling for care, bring your identification and prescription details. Allow extra time for check-in and observation after the infusion. Your clinic will guide you on any additional handling needs specific to your dose.

Benefits

This class of IV iron can replete iron stores efficiently, which may reduce the number of clinic visits compared with some older regimens. It can be considered when oral iron is not tolerated or not effective. The treatment is given under supervision, so staff can address reactions quickly and tailor follow-up.

Side Effects and Safety

Common side effects may include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache or dizziness
• Flushing or rash
• Injection site discomfort
• Muscle or joint aches

Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur with IV iron products. Hypotension, hypertension, and infusion-related reactions can also happen. Your care team will observe you during and after administration. Iron overload can occur if given when iron stores are adequate, so appropriate labs are essential. Seek urgent care for symptoms of severe allergy such as trouble breathing, swelling, or chest tightness. Review the full safety profile in the official label and discuss your medical history with your clinician.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Use of other IV iron products at the same time is not recommended. Tell your clinician about all therapies, including over-the-counter supplements and vitamins. Iron therapies can affect certain lab tests; timing of draws may be adjusted. Patients with active infections should be evaluated before treatment. Pregnant or nursing individuals should discuss potential risks and benefits with their prescriber. Report a history of drug allergies, asthma, eczema, or immune conditions before infusion.

What to Expect Over Time

Iron repletion and hemoglobin response can take time. Your clinician may schedule follow-up labs to assess ferritin, transferrin saturation, and hemoglobin. Some patients require only one visit, while others may need another dose based on clinical response. Keeping appointments, sharing new symptoms, and avoiding unadvised supplements will help your care team guide next steps.

Compare With Alternatives

For anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency, your clinician may recommend B12 therapy rather than IV iron. We offer alternatives in that category, including Cyanocobalamin and Vitamin B12 Injection. Your prescriber will determine the correct workup and therapy based on your lab results and diagnosis.

Availability and Substitutions

Supply can vary by market and batch. If this item is unavailable, your prescriber may recommend another IV iron formulation based on your needs and institutional protocols. Clinic formularies differ, so coordination between your care team and the dispensing pharmacy helps ensure the correct product reaches your infusion site.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This therapy may be suitable if you have confirmed iron deficiency anemia and need rapid repletion or cannot take oral iron. It may not be right if you have iron overload, uncontrolled infection, or a history of severe reactions to IV iron.

• Multi-visit planning: Ask if a single visit can meet your iron need.
• Refill reminders: Set calendar alerts for lab checks and follow-up.
• Clinic coordination: Confirm administration fees and scheduling details.
• Insurance questions: Ask your clinic which costs they bill separately.
