Ingredients

Each 5ml ampoule contains Iron Sucrose 100mg, a stable and easily absorbable form of iron that helps replenish body stores and supports red blood cell formation.

Working of this Medicine

Venofer Injection works by providing bioavailable iron directly into the bloodstream, bypassing intestinal absorption issues common with oral supplements. Iron Sucrose binds to transferrin in the blood, which delivers iron to bone marrow where red blood cells are produced. This results in faster correction of anemia, increased hemoglobin levels, and improved energy and well-being for the patient.
