Why can I not use venofer for treating all types of anemias?

Anemias, characterized by a low amount of red blood cells, can occur due to a wide variety of reasons ranging from poor diet to severe abnormal conditions, such as cancer. Not all types of anemias have similar treatment; therefore, venofer cannot be used to treat all anemias. Please thoroughly discuss your symptoms and condition with your doctor to start an effective treatment plan that suits you best.
