I’ve been on tirz for two years and am a new woman—except I can’t get my low ferritin to budge despite following the protocols for oral iron supplementation. My doctor is now suggesting iv iron. Co-pay is astronomical.. has anyone bought this in grey? Son is a paramedic and can set up the drip…
 
I found this, from an Indian pharmacy I use:


They have both ampules and vials of iron. (Personally, I prefer vials for my subq injections, but I have never used iron.)

This vial is for infusion too, but vials are more expensive ($45 in this case):


Encicarb 500mg Injection is an iron replacement product. It is used to treat a type of anemia in which the number of red blood cells is less due to a low level of iron in your body (iron-deficiency anemia). Iron is needed to produce the red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body.


This ampule for IV infusion is much cheaper ($4):

Also “Orofer S100 Iron Sucrose Injection” from the same vendor.
