Which intravenous Iron formulation has a BBW for anaphylaxis?

Iron Sucrose
Ferumoxytol
Ferrous Gluconate
Ferrous Sulfate

The correct answer is: Ferumoxytol

Ferumoxytol is the correct answer because it carries a Black Box Warning (BBW) for anaphylaxis. This warning indicates that there is a significant risk of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, associated with the administration of Ferumoxytol. It is important for healthcare providers to be aware of this risk and to closely monitor patients for any signs of allergic reactions when using this specific intravenous Iron formulation. Iron Sucrose, Ferrous Gluconate, and Ferrous Sulfate do not have a Black Box Warning for anaphylaxis associated with their use. It is vital for pharmacists to be familiar with the specific warnings and precautions related to different intravenous Iron formulations to ensure the safe and effective use of these medications in patients.
