Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, or injection site reactions. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylactic shock, may occur, requiring immediate medical intervention.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as allergies or kidney diseases, to ensure the safe use of iron (III) hydroxide sucrose complex.
