Description
Feronto-100 (iron sucrose injection, USP), an iron replacement product, is a brown, sterile, aqueous, complex of polynuclear iron (III)-hydroxide in sucrose for intravenous use. Iron sucrose injection has a molecular weight of approximately 34,000 to 60,000 daltons and a proposed structural formula:
[Na2Fe5O8(OH) •3(H2O)]n •m(C12H22O11)
where: n is the degree of iron polymerization and m is the number of sucrose molecules associated with the iron (III)-hydroxide.
