Ferric carboxymaltose is an iron replacement product. You normally get iron from the foods you eat. Iron helps your body produce red blood cells that carry oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs.
Ferric carboxymaltose is used in adults to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by having too little iron in the body). Ferric carboxymaltose is usually given when iron taken orally (by mouth) is not effective.
