Corfill S Injection is used to treat iron deficiency and anaemia (deficiency of iron and haemoglobin).

Corfill S Injection contains Elemental Iron. It works by boosting the production of red blood cells (RBC) in the body, thus treating iron deficiency and its associated anaemia.

Corfill S Injection should be used with caution and only under doctor's supervision if you have heart, liver or kidney diseases, low blood pressure, iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis, lupus (immune disorder), rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and eczema.

Corfill S Injection can be given to patients above 65 years of age under the supervision of a doctor. However, due to the reduced liver, kidney and heart function in older people who also use other medicines, Corfill S Injection should be cautiously administered.

Corfill S Injection may cause constipation as one of its side effects. Eating fibre-rich foods like vegetables, fresh fruits, and cereals and drinking plenty of water can help relieve symptoms.

Antacids may interfere with the absorption of iron. Hence it is advised to take Corfill S Injection two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.

Corfill S Injection may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, taste changes, constipation, headache, back pain or cough. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Iron-deficiency or anemia can be defined as a lack of adequate amounts of healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Lack of red blood cells may cause pale skin, weakness, fatigue (overtiredness), brittle nails, etc.

The food sources of iron include white beans, spinach, lentils, peas and kidney beans, lean meat, chicken, seafood, nuts and some dried fruits, such as raisins. Also, iron-protected breakfast cereals and bread.

There is limited information on the safety of Corfill S Injection in pregnancy. Therefore, please let your doctor know if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before starting Corfill S Injection.

Anemia is a blood disorder which occurs when the number of red blood cells (RBCs) that carry oxygen is lower than usual. As a result, your tissues and organs don’t get adequate oxygen. Megaloblastic anemia is a form of anemia characterized by very large red blood cells and a decrease in their number. Generally, megaloblastic anemia is due to vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency.

Corfill S Injection starts working within 5 minutes of giving it. However, the duration may vary depending on the severity, dose, type of cancer and other cancer medications used along with Corfill S Injection.

Your doctor will advise blood tests to check your levels of serum methotrexate concentration (in case of methotrexate chemotherapy or overdose) to determine the best dose and duration of treatment with Corfill S Injection. A complete blood count may also be recommended to monitor the number of red blood cells (in case of megaloblastic anemia). In order to prevent hypercalcemia (excess calcium), your calcium levels will also be monitored since Corfill S Injection contains calcium.

Adult’s urine output should be maintained above 2,500 mL/24hr by increasing oral or intravenous fluids 12 hours before and for 36 hours after the end of methotrexate infusion. Monitor alkalinization of urine (this enhances drug excretion) so that the urinary pH is greater than 7.0 before methotrexate infusion. Drinks, foods and drugs that may increase urinary acidity should be avoided during the therapy. Finally, blood methotrexate concentration should be measured at least 24, 48, and 72 hours after starting the methotrexate infusion.
