Comparison of hypersensitivity reactions of intravenous iron: iron isomaltoside-1000 (Monofer® ) versus ferric carboxy-maltose (Ferinject® ). A single center, cohort study.

Ferric carboxymaltose is associated with a 75% lower risk for HSRs compared with iron isomaltoside-1000 in our population. The presence of a comorbidity raises the likelihood of an HSR by a factor of three regardless of the type of intravenous iron infusion. Further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanism in various patient groups.
