Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is an intravenous iron preparation, belonging to the class of iron carbohydrate complexes.

Some common indications for ferric carboxymaltose include:
- Iron deficiency anemia is due to various causes, such as chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption, or blood loss from heavy menstrual bleeding or gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, when oral iron supplements do not provide adequate improvement or cause intolerable side effects.
- Preoperative treatment for iron deficiency anemia in patients undergoing elective surgery, especially if there is a high risk of significant blood loss.
- Rapid repletion of iron stores in patients with functional iron deficiency (e.g., in chronic heart failure or cancer patients receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents).
