ISOFER VAIL

About

This injectable iron preparation is designed for intravenous administration to effectively treat iron deficiency anemia. It provides a rapid and efficient way to replenish iron stores in patients who cannot tolerate oral iron supplements, have severe gastrointestinal malabsorption, or require quick iron repletion, such as those with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The iron complex is delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and ensuring effective utilization for hemoglobin synthesis and other vital iron-dependent processes. This helps to alleviate symptoms of anemia, improve overall patient well-being, and restore normal iron levels.

• Treatment of iron deficiency anemia in chronic kidney disease
• For patients intolerant to oral iron supplements
• Management of iron deficiency in malabsorption syndromes
