What should I expect in terms of side effects when starting treatment with Ferrlecit?

While specific side effects for Ferrlecit are not detailed, typical side effects of IV iron supplements can include nausea, dizziness, hypotension, and allergic reactions; monitoring during administration is generally recommended [Manufacturer Info][Industry Standards].

Are there any specific precautions I should follow when administering Ferrlecit to pediatric patients?
