What is Icar?

Icar is an iron pediatric suspension used to treat children who have or are at risk for iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia. Iron is a vital constituent of red blood cells where it carries oxygen to the body's cells. An iron deficiency results in anemia, a condition in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to meet the body's oxygen needs.

Carbonyl iron – nearly pure elemental iron – is the only active ingredient in Icar. Carbonyl iron is absorbed and used very quickly by the body, but often has unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.

A 15 mg dose of Icar is taken orally as drops through a syringe once daily. The dose may vary depending on the underlying condition and side effects experienced.

What are the side effects of Icar?

Stomach upset, cramps, constipation, black stools, and diarrhea are common side effects of iron supplements, but are usually more common in supplements such as Icar that use nearly pure elemental iron, rather than iron salts or organic iron compounds. Side effects will fade over time as the body adapts to the supplement.

Allergic reactions to the active ingredient, carbonyl iron, are extremely rare.

Although iron is a naturally occurring and critical part of our diet, overdosing on iron can lead to iron poisoning and even death. Always follow your doctor's instructions and never exceed the prescribed dosage.
