I was given two doses of feraheme over 2 months for iron deficient anemia. My hemoglobin was at 8.6 . The infusions went well, I had no problems.

Also the nurse who gave me my infusion said she had not seen any bad reactions in the 10 years she had been giving them.

The first transfusion I had sever chest pain. They checked my vitals and it was all good, was sent home with no other reactions. Did my second transfusion and just feel really tired and "out of it" like just over drowsy or something . Still no change in my energy levels, which I was hoping for.

I have severe anemia and my first infusion was with Dextran, where i had no side affects whatsoever, and it took about 1.5 weeks to feel the effects of energy; it lasted about 3.5 months. The second infusion was yesterday with Feraheme. Shorter infusion time, no side effects, hope it works the same. The second dose will be on Monday, but so far so good.
