Evaluation of the reported rates of hypersensitivity reactions associated with iron dextran and ferric carboxymaltose based on global data from VigiBase ™ and IQVIA™ MIDAS® over a ten-year period from 2008 to 2017.

Conclusion: The risk of spontaneously reported HSRs was consistently higher with ferric carboxymaltose than with iron dextran over the period 2008-2017. Thus, this study does not support that dextran-free intravenous irons are associated with fewer HSRs than iron dextran. PMID: 32129113 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
