Ferose IV Injection 5ml

INTRODUCTION

FEROSE contains Iron sucrose which belongs to the group of medicines called hematinic. It is indicated in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in both adults and in children (above 2 years) with chronic kidney disease. It is preferably used in patients who have intolerance or unsatisfactory response to oral iron. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which the body lacks enough amount of mineral ion “iron” which is responsible for the formation of healthy red blood cells and oxygen transport in the body.

Systemic administration of iron sucrose effectively replenishes and restores iron in the body. It helps in the formation of healthy red blood cells and transport of oxygen, leading to the correction of anemia caused by iron deficiency. Along with the treatment, eating a well-balanced diet including lots of green leafy vegetables, dry fruits, meat, beets, pomegranate, beans etc. can also help you to achieve better results.
