Feronto-100

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.
