Na Ferric Gluc Cplx In Sucrose

Drug Info for na ferric gluc cplx in sucrose

Sodium ferric gluconate injection is used to treat iron-deficiency anemia (a lower than normal number of red blood cells due to too little iron) in adults and children 6 years of age and older with chronic kidney disease (damage to the kidneys which may worsen over time and may cause the kidneys to stop working) who are on dialysis and are also receiving the medication epoetin (Epogen, Procrit). Sodium ferric gluconate injection is in a class of medications called iron replacement products. It works by replenishing iron stores so that the body can make more red blood cells.

Ferrlecit works by improving low level of iron in the body by boosting red blood cells. This prescription medication can be used by adults and children who are not less 6 years old. Iron helps to move oxygen through blood cells to tissues and organs.
