Composition
Each 15 ml vial contains:
-
Ferric Carboxymaltose 750 mg
For intravenous (IV) administration only.
Mechanism of Action
Ferric Carboxymaltose works by:
-
Delivering iron directly into the bloodstream in a stable complex form
-
Gradually releasing iron for hemoglobin synthesis
-
Supporting red blood cell production (erythropoiesis)

Replenishing depleted iron stores efficiently
-
Improving oxygen transport in the body
This leads to faster correction of iron deficiency compared to oral iron therapy.
