About INFED

Infed is a medication aligned to the HCPCS J Code: J1750 for billing, pricing, and reimbursement purposes in the United States. It is an Anti-Anemia drug administered via the intramuscular or intravenous routes and manufactured by Allergan.

According to CMS Drug Use Information: This medication is used to treat "iron-poor" blood (anemia) in people who cannot take iron by mouth because of side effects or because their anemia has not been successfully treated by it. Low iron levels can occur when the body can't get enough iron from food (poor nutrition, poor absorption) or when there is a large or long-term blood loss (for example, due to hemophilia, stomach bleeding). It is also used by people who have anemia due to long-term kidney disease. Iron is an important part of your red blood cells and is needed to carry oxygen in the body.
