Ferric carboxymaltose is an iron replacement product. You normally get iron from the foods you eat. Iron helps your body produce red blood cells that carry oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs.

Ferric carboxymaltose is used in adults to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by having too little iron in the body). Ferric carboxymaltose is usually given when iron taken orally (by mouth) is not effective.

Ferric carboxymaltose may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Tetracycline periodontal fibers are used to help treat periodontal disease (a disease of your gums). Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria growing beneath the gum line. Tetracycline works by keeping the number of bacteria from growing. Lowering the amount of bacteria helps to reduce inflammation and swelling in your mouth, and the amount of bleeding around the teeth. Tetracycline fibers are placed in the inflamed mouth areas by your dentist after he or she has thoroughly cleaned your teeth.
