Encicarb 750mg Injection

About

Encicarb 750mg Injection is an advanced intravenous iron preparation specifically formulated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. It provides a stable iron carbohydrate complex that is efficiently taken up by the reticuloendothelial system, where iron is released and subsequently utilized for hemoglobin synthesis in red blood cells. This method of administration is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate oral iron, have an inadequate response to oral therapy, or require rapid iron repletion due to chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease, or significant blood loss. Encicarb helps to quickly restore iron stores, improve hemoglobin levels, and alleviate debilitating symptoms of anemia like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, thereby significantly enhancing the patient's quality of life and functional capacity.
