FCM Injection 500mg/10ml (Ferric Carboxymaltose) is an intravenous iron therapy used to treat iron deficiency anemia, especially in patients who cannot tolerate oral iron or need rapid iron replenishment.

It works by delivering iron directly into the bloodstream, where it is utilized for hemoglobin production and red blood cell formation. This helps restore iron levels quickly, improve oxygen transport, and reduce symptoms like fatigue and weakness. It is administered under medical supervision for safe and effective treatment.
