Hi
Thanks for writing in HCM.
The side effects of IV iron are usually minimal, but may include the following:
bloating or swelling of the face, arms, hands, lower legs, or feet
dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position gastrointestinal pains, including nausea and cramps
problems with breathing, skin problems, including rash, chest pain, low blood pressure, anaphylaxis.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
