WHAT RIENSO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Rienso is an iron preparation, containing the active substance
ferumoxytol, which is given by infusion
into a vein. It is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia resulting
from a lack of stored iron, in adult
patients with reduced kidney function.
Iron is an essential element required to make haemoglobin, a molecule
in red blood cells that enables
oxygen to be carried around the body. When there is insufficient iron
in the body, haemoglobin
cannot be formed, resulting in anaemia (low levels of haemoglobin).
The aim of Rienso therapy is to replenish the body’s iron stores.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU RECEIVE RIENSO
Before you were prescribed Rienso, the doctor will have carried out a
blood test to make sure that you
have iron deficiency anaemia.
YOU MUST NOT RECEIVE RIENSO:
-
if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to the product or any of the
other ingredients of this
medicine (listed in section 6).
-
