Iron injection 50 mg/mL, a parenteral iron complex (the reference is low molecular weight iron dextran) for iron deficiency when oral iron is unsuitable, for hospital pharmacies, tender buyers and distributors.

Product Description:

Iron injection 50 mg/mL holds ferric iron in a carbohydrate complex, so it can enter the blood without releasing free iron too fast. The reference product here is a low molecular weight iron dextran, given by intravenous infusion or injection and, in some labels, deep intramuscular injection. Ferric carboxymaltose also comes at 50 mg/mL, while iron sucrose is usually 20 mg/mL. These complexes differ in dose limits and infusion times and are not interchangeable.

It is used for iron deficiency when oral iron fails, is not tolerated or cannot meet the need, as in chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease or before surgery. Ferritin and transferrin saturation confirm the diagnosis. The total dose follows body weight and haemoglobin deficit. Hypersensitivity is the main risk, so European guidance says IV iron is given only where resuscitation facilities are at hand, with observation for at least 30 minutes. It is avoided in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Sourcing notes. First name the iron complex, as iron injection covers several products with separate dossiers; state iron dextran, iron sucrose or ferric carboxymaltose in every enquiry. It is a prescription-only sterile product registered with a CTD or ACTD dossier, in glass ampoules or vials, commonly 2 mL and 10 mL, usually stored below 25 °C and not frozen. Ask for a batch CoA with iron content, molecular weight distribution, sterility and endotoxins, plus GMP and CoPP. Molecular weight matters, as high molecular weight dextran carries more reaction risk.
