INFeD Iron Dextran Complex 50 mg for Injection Single Dose Vials 2 mL (RX)

INFeD Iron Dextran Complex 50 mg for Injection Single Dose Vials 2 mL is a medication used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It is a type of iron supplement that is injected intravenously (into a vein) to help increase the levels of iron in the body. The iron in INFeD is bound to dextran, a carbohydrate polymer, which helps to slowly release the iron into the body over time. This medication is typically used when oral iron supplements do not work well or cannot be taken.

INFeD Iron Dextran Complex 50 mg for Injection is used to treat iron deficiency anemia in adults who are unable to receive iron through the diet or oral supplements. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when the body does not have enough iron to produce red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. INFeD works by providing the body with the essential iron needed to produce healthy red blood cells. This medication is typically used when oral iron supplements have been ineffective or when a rapid increase in iron levels is necessary. 

INFeD Iron Dextran Complex 50 mg for Injection is a medication used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It works by replenishing iron stores in the body, which are necessary for the production of red blood cells.

Iron dextran is a complex of iron and the sugar dextran. When injected into the body, it is broken down into iron and dextran molecules. The iron component is then transported to the bone marrow, where it is used to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

In individuals with iron deficiency anemia, there is a lack of iron available for red blood cell production. This can be due to insufficient dietary intake of iron, poor absorption of iron from the diet, or increased demands for iron (such as during pregnancy). By providing a source of iron directly into the body, INFeD helps to correct the iron deficiency and increase the production of red blood cells.

INFeD is typically given as an injection into a muscle or vein and is usually prescribed for several weeks to replenish iron stores and improve anemia symptoms. It is important to continue taking iron supplements or consuming iron-rich foods, as INFeD only provides a temporary boost of iron and does not address the underlying cause of iron deficiency.
