Venofer (iron sucrose) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Venofer (iron sucrose)
Do not take. Right after I was given venofer my blood pressure was checked. It went really high, plus I had an head so bad I could barely open my eyes. I was given the observation bag for 30 min. And after that was finished blood pressure was check and it was even higher. Head for 4 days. Do not take
Only side effect I experienced shortly after was fatigue. A few days after my first infusion I experienced joint pain. I was starting to realize making a fist was very painful. After my second infusion my joint pain became even worse.
I can recognize when my iron is low because my energy level changes. In the past, after receiving venofer, I have felt like a new person. I forget what it feels like to have energy.Also, I get a maple syrup taste in my mouth during the infusions.
Horrible side effects. Back pain rapid weight gain joint pain ear pain weakness neuropathy for 3 weeks post infusion anxiety bloating fluid retention. Horrible. I want my life back.
Low iron d.t. anemia/epogen trmnt
During IV infusions (at ~300ml/hr) I became nauseous in the last 10-20 minutes until infusion rate was dropped. While it infused, my exhaled breath smelled/tasted like maple syrup.
I went through two 5-visit IV treatments,each over 5 weeks, each with two vials of Venofer injected into a small bag of saline. It boosted my iron to better levels and made my epogen treatment more effective.

I AM WRITING FOR MY MOTHER...SHE HAS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH HER
Flushing, stomach upset, dry mouth.
I'm so disillusioned with the drug companies and the FDA that I won't take anything my doctor recommends again. Lipitor has robbed me and my family of my former active self and I have no idea whether I will ever return to normal. Will try the CoQ10 idea and also physical therapy to try to realign everything from my hips down so I can move normally again. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! IT IS NOT WORTH TRADING YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE FOR A LOWER CHOLESTEROL NUMBER!!! I too would like to join a class action suit, as I feel Pfizer was well aware of the damage this drug could do.
