Encicarb Injection (Ferric Carboxymaltose) 50 ml is an intravenous iron formulation used to treat iron deficiency anemia, especially in patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond to oral iron supplements. It is commonly prescribed for individuals with chronic kidney disease, heavy menstrual bleeding, or those recovering from major surgery or chronic illnesses. Encicarb provides a controlled release of iron into the bloodstream, supporting the production of healthy red blood cells.
