What if I have taken an overdose of Feruno Injection

Overdose of Feruno Injection may lead to the accumulation of iron in storage sites eventually leading to hemosiderosis. Monitoring of serum ferritin levels may assist in recognizing iron accumulation. In such cases, supportive measures such as chelating agents may be used. However, it is unlikely to overdose on parenteral medication as it is administered by a healthcare professional.
