Usage |
Iron sucrose, is a stable iron complex that does not release iron ions under physiological conditions. The iron in the multi-nuclear core, surrounded by a structure similar to that of ferritin in its physiological state, ensures its stability and bioavailability.
In China, Iron sucrose offers several advantages:
1. Effective Iron Supplementation: Iron sucrose is effective in supplementing iron for patients with iron deficiency anemia. It is commonly used in clinical settings for intravenous infusion, providing a rapid and direct means of increasing iron levels in the body.
2. Good Tolerance: The sucrose iron complex has good stability and is well-tolerated by patients. It causes less gastrointestinal discomfort compared to other oral iron supplements, improving patient compliance and satisfaction.
3. Convenient for Administration: Being available in intravenous formulations, Iron sucrose allows for direct administration into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. This can be particularly advantageous for patients who have difficulty swallowing oral medications or who experience severe gastrointestinal side effects from oral iron supplements.
4. Support for Healthcare System: As the demand for healthcare services increases, Iron sucrose provides a reliable and effective treatment option for iron deficiency anemia. Its use helps alleviate the burden on the healthcare system by reducing the need for frequent blood transfusions and improving patient outcomes.
