Iron dextran powder is a product containing iron complexed with dextran, a complex carbohydrate. This formulation is used to address iron deficiency. The dextran complex enhances the solubility and stability of iron, facilitating its incorporation into the body. Iron dextran powder is commonly prescribed when traditional oral iron supplements are not suitable or ineffective. It serves as an essential source of iron, supporting the production of red blood cells and overall hematologic health.
Available Grades
- Iron Dextran Powder 10%
- Iron Dextran Powder 20%
Composition
Iron dextran powder is composed of two main components: iron and dextran. The iron component provides a crucial source of the essential mineral, which is vital for the synthesis of hemoglobin and the formation of red blood cells. Dextran, a complex carbohydrate, serves as a stabilizing agent and enhances the solubility of iron, facilitating its absorption in the body. The combination of iron and dextran in this formulation is designed to provide an effective and well-tolerated option for addressing iron deficiency, supporting overall hematologic health.
