IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic-type reactions, some of which have been life-threatening and fatal, have been reported in patients receiving Venofer® (iron sucrose injection, USP). Patients may present with shock, clinically significant hypotension, loss of consciousness, and/or collapse. If hypersensitivity reactions or signs of intolerance occur during administration, stop Venofer® immediately. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity during and after Venofer® administration for at least 30 minutes and until clinically stable following completion of the infusion. Only administer Venofer® when personnel and therapies are immediately available for the treatment of serious hypersensitivity reactions.

Venofer® may cause clinically significant hypotension. Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypotension following each administration of Venofer®. Hypotension following administration of Venofer® may be related to rate of administration and total dose delivered.

Venofer® is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Venofer®. Do not administer to patients with evidence of iron overload.

(7.9%), peripheral edema (7.2%), diarrhea (7.2%), dizziness (6.5%), hypertension (6.5%), infusion site pain or burning (5.8%), dyspnea (5.8%), and vomiting (5.0%).
