Ferric Carboxymaltose is a next-generation intravenous iron complex used for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, particularly in patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond adequately to oral iron supplements. It offers the advantage of high-dose iron delivery in a single administration, enabling rapid replenishment of iron stores with fewer infusions.
This water-soluble iron-carbohydrate complex consists of a ferric hydroxide core stabilized by a carboxymaltose shell, which controls the release of bioavailable iron to reduce the risk of free iron toxicity. Ferric Carboxymaltose is widely used in therapeutic areas including nephrology, gastroenterology, obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, and cardiology, especially in cases related to chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or postpartum anemia.
