Pharmacy

There are no good studies of potential interactions between Venofer (iron sucrose) and other medications or foods.

Before receiving Venofer injections, give your doctor a list of all your prescription and nonprescription drugs, herbal remedies, and supplements. Don't start any new ones while you are receiving Venofer without checking with your doctor first. You should not take iron supplements when you are receiving Venofer injections unless your doctor recommends additional iron.
