Ferric Carboxymaltose
FCMalt (Ferric carboxymaltose) is a parenteral, dextran-free iron formulation designed to overcome the limitations of existing intravenous (IV) injections. It is a safe, well tolerated and stable complex, associated with improvements in hemoglobin. Due to the stability of the complex, it does not release ionic iron under physiological conditions.
COMPOSITION:
Ferric Carboxymaltose 50mg/ml
MODE OF ACTION:
Following IV administration, ferric carboxymaltose is rapidly taken up by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) cells, particularly in the liver and spleen, from where iron is slowly released for use. Iron is immediately bound and stored, mainly in ferritin.
INDICATIONS
- Iron Deficiency Anemia
Dosage
For Hemodialysis-CKD – 200 mg Iron
For Non-Dialysis CKD – 20 mg iron/kg BW (Upto maximum single dose of 1000mg)
