Injectable iron preps are most likely to cause which signs?

Injectable iron preparations commonly provoke hypersensitivity reactions that show up in the skin. The iron-carbohydrate complex can trigger immune responses that manifest as a dermal rash, sometimes with itching or flushing. GI upset is more typical of oral iron, hepatic injury isn’t a usual early sign of injected iron, and while a severe reaction like anaphylaxis can occur with certain older products, it is not the most likely presentation in standard use. So a rash best fits the typical, most common response to injectable iron exposure.
