WARNING: RISK FOR ANAPHYLACTIC-TYPE REACTIONS Anaphylactic-type reactions, including fatalities, have been reported following the parenteral administration of iron dextran injection. Have resuscitation equipment and personnel trained in the detection and treatment of anaphylactic-type reactions readily available during INFeD administration. Administer a test INFeD dose prior to the first therapeutic dose. If no signs or symptoms of anaphylactic-type reactions follow the test dose, administer the full therapeutic INFeD dose. During all INFeD administrations, observe for signs or symptoms of anaphylactic-type reactions. Fatal reactions have been reported following the test dose of iron dextran injection. Fatal reactions have also occurred in situations where the test dose was tolerated. Use INFeD only in patients in whom clinical and laboratory investigations have established an iron deficient state not amenable to oral iron therapy. Patients with a history of drug allergy or multiple drug allergies may be at increased risk of anaphylactic-type reactions to INFeD.
