How Ferinject 500mg Injection 10ml Works?

Uptake by Reticuloendothelial System: After the injection is administered, ferric carboxymaltose is absorbed by a part of your immune system called the reticuloendothelial system, located in your liver, spleen, and bone marrow.
Iron Release: The complex releases iron which is either stored as ferritin or transported to the bone marrow.
Hemoglobin Production: In the bone marrow, the iron is incorporated into hemoglobin – a protein within red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body.
Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anaemia: By replenishing your body's iron stores and increasing hemoglobin production, Ferinject Injection effectively manages iron deficiency anaemia.
