Recently, intravenous iron supplements has become increasingly popular because it allows administration
of large quantity of iron dosage with simple infusion and is more effective in raising the hemoglobin
levels and have less drug-related side effects as compared to oral iron supplementation. Multiple
IV formulations of iron are available. However, there have been reports of transient asymptomatic
hypophosphatemia with its use. We report here a patient with iron deficiency anemia secondary to
menorrhagia, who presented with confusion, disorientation, muscle cramps and severe fatigue 3 weeks
following intravenous ferric carboxymaltase from hypophosphatemia.
