Venofer is given as an infusion into a vein. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.
This medicine is sometimes given slowly, and the infusion can take up to 2.5 hours to complete.
Tell your caregivers if you feel any burning, pain, or swelling around the IV needle when Venofer is injected.
You will be watched closely for at least 30 minutes to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction.
You will need frequent medical tests to help your doctor determine how long to treat you with Venofer.
