Restless leg syndrome can now be controlled with IV iron supplementation
A recent study in the journal Sleep Medicine has suggested IV ferric carboxymaltose (IV FCM) to be an alternative treatment option to oral iron supplementation in children with restless legs syndrome (RLS) or periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD).
According to the study, IV iron supplementation improved both clinical severity and laboratory parameters and was well tolerated in children with RLS and PLMD. Following a single dose of ferric carboxymaltose, ferritin level improved significantly.
