The most commonly reported adverse drug reaction in clinical trials with Iron Sucrose Injection was dysgeusia, which occurred with a rate of 4.5 events per 100 subjects. The most important serious adverse drug reactions associated with Iron Sucrose Injection are hypersensitivity reactions, which occurred with a rate of 0.25 events per 100 subjects in clinical trials. Anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions were reported only in the post-marketing setting (estimated as rare); fatalities have been reported.
