About Ferise 2.5Mg Injection

Ferise 2.5Mg Injection is used as a diet supplement and for treating or preventing iron deficiency in the blood. It is also used for improving athletic performance, canker sores and treating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder.

Some people also use iron for depression, Crohn's disease, and fatigue. Women sometimes take this medicine to make up for the loss of iron due to heavy menstruation and to cure their inability to get pregnant.

This medication can cause poisoning if taken in large doses which can cause many serious problems including dangerously low blood pressure, stomach and intestinal distress, liver failure, and death.

It is considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women if taken in lower doses. If someone is suffering from diabetes, stomach or intestinal ulcers, intestinal inflammation or any hemoglobin disease then you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
