Iron–Dextran (Fe 25-35% w/w) [CAS 9004-66-4]

Iron-Dextran is an injectable complex of iron and dextran, a complex carbohydrate. It is often used to improve iron deficiency anemia, a condition characterized by low levels of iron in the blood due to insufficient dietary intake or malabsorption. Iron-glucan works by providing a source of supplemental iron that the body can use to produce hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. However, caution should be exercised when taking iron dextran because it may cause hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, and may also increase the risk of infection or other adverse reactions. Therefore, it should only be administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider in a clinical setting.
