I have Iron Deficiency Anemia. I started on Ferrlecit 3 weeks ago. The very first time I got really cold and my nose started running. IV ran for about an hour. Once I got home it was hard to sleep, my stop was bloated which caused me to have a lot of gas. I was i pain in my legs I felt horrible the whole weekend it was a Friday I took treatment. But I am on my 3rd treatment and I have not had anymore side effects. I was able to walk a few blocks and was not exausted. I really felt like I was able to live, not just exist. They give me 2 tylenol and 1 benadryl at every treatment. So far its been good and my energy level has been up. In a week my levels will be checked again.

I had a horrible reaction to this medication. Severe back pain, shortness of breath, my heart rate increased and my bp dropped significantly. I also had hives and ended up in the emergency room. This was my first time with this medication and definitely my last.

I have had severe reactions to all iron infusions so my Doctor tried Ferrlecit. They gave me steroids and a benadryl drip first and after an hour on the infusion I still had a severe reaction. Heart rate dropped, chest pain and I had blisters all over my body. It looked like I had been burned in a fire!
