Ferumoxides Disease Interactions

There are 3 disease interactions with ferumoxides.

Moderate

Ferumoxides (applies to ferumoxides) anaphylactic reactions

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Autoimmune Disorder, Allergies, Immunodeficiency

The possibility of a reaction including serious, life-threatening, fatal, anaphylactoid or cardiovascular reactions should always be considered when using ferumoxides. Increased risk is associated with a known sensitivity to iron or dextran, history of previous reaction to a radiographic contrast agent, known allergies, other hypersensitivities, and underlying immune disorders, autoimmunity or immunodeficiencies that predispose to specific or non specific mediator release.

Moderate

Ferumoxides (applies to ferumoxides) autoimmune disease

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Autoimmune Disorder

Ferumoxides has not been studied in patients with immune disease, but a high rate of adverse reactions to injectable iron formulations have been reported in the published literature. Caution is advised.

Moderate

Ferumoxides (applies to ferumoxides) iron overload

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Hemochromatosis, Hemolytic Anemia, Blood Transfusion

Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
