Mechanism of Action :
Ferric derisomaltose is a complex of iron (III) hydroxide and derisomaltose, an iron carbohydrate oligosaccharide that releases iron. Iron binds to transferrin for transport to erythroid precursor cells to be incorporated into hemoglobin.
Indication :
Ferric Derisomaltose is an iron replacement product indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients:
- who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron.
- who have non-hemodialysis dependent chronic kidney disease.
