Rubiject Injection 100mg 5Amp x 5mL

Description

Rubiject Injection contains iron sucrose, a form of injectable iron used for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Each 5 mL ampoule provides 100 mg of elemental iron, and the pack contains 5 ampoules, intended for intravenous administration.

This medicine is designed for patients who:

• Cannot tolerate oral iron
• Do not respond adequately to oral iron therapy
• Require rapid iron replacement (e.g., in chronic kidney disease, surgical patients, or chronic blood loss)

How It Works

Iron sucrose delivers iron directly into the bloodstream. It helps restore depleted iron stores and supports the production of hemoglobin, which is essential for oxygen transport in the blood. It is especially useful when quick correction of anemia is needed.

Uses

Rubiject is used for:

• Iron deficiency anemia in adults and children
• Anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (with or without dialysis)
• Patients with inflammatory bowel disease or other chronic inflammatory conditions
• Pre-operative and post-operative anemia
• Situations where oral iron is not effective or tolerated

Dosage and Administration

• Adults: Typically, 100–200 mg per dose (1 to 2 ampoules), given 1 to 3 times per week depending on the severity of the deficiency.
• Chronic kidney disease: Often administered during dialysis sessions or as part of a scheduled treatment plan.
• Children: Dose is calculated based on body weight and medical guidance.

Administration is usually:

• Slow intravenous injection over several minutes
• Or infused after dilution in normal saline over 15–60 minutes

All doses should be given by a healthcare professional in a controlled setting.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Injection site reactions (pain, swelling)
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Low blood pressure during or after infusion
• Metallic taste

Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions. Patients should be monitored during and shortly after the injection.

• Liver problems
• Low blood pressure

• Infections

Not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor.

Conclusion

Rubiject Injection provides a safe and effective method to rapidly correct iron deficiency in patients who cannot use oral supplements.
