First of all, thanks to some of the other reviewers for scaring the begeezus out of me prior to my treatment! My treatment was prefaced with bags of steroids, benedryl, and one for nausea like prilosec or something. Then I did a test bag, waited an hour (no reaction) and then got what amounts to a GRAM of iron dosage. All went well and I lived through it!

i was 8 months pregnant. only 2ml of test dose was given before i went into shock, and my baby's heart rate dropped to 50 bpm needless to say less than 12 minutes after dose was given, i was in operating room having an emergency c section, resulting in a 5 week early baby who was in thr NICU for two weeks! Please do not take if you are pregnant!!!! My baby and myself almost died!

Comment:
The test dose and first treatment were problem free. The second dose caused back pain. I had a very severe allergic reaction on my third treatment. It occured about 30 minutes after the injection. I broke out in welts and uncontrollable itching. I had to be given steriods and Benedryl to reverse the reaction.
