Iron Sucrose Injection

Iron Sucrose Injection comes with the brand name “Clexofer 2.5” and is classified as an ‘iron replacement product’ and is primarily used to address iron deficiency anemia in individuals with chronic kidney diseases. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when the body lacks sufficient red blood cells to carry the necessary oxygen to various tissues due to inadequate iron levels.

The key ingredient in Iron Sucrose Injection is Iron Sucrose, which falls under the category of ‘haematinics.’ Iron is a nutritional supplement essential for red blood cells to transport oxygen to cells and tissues throughout the body. This medication functions by replenishing the body’s iron levels. It contributes to enhancing blood quality by increasing levels of hemoglobin (a blood protein) and red blood cells.
