Imax-S Injection is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia. It is also used in patients with chronic kidney disease who are iron deficient and are on dialysis. It contains elemental iron, which helps restore iron levels in the body, improving haemoglobin and red blood cell counts. This medicine belongs to the class of iron replacement products that are used in replenishing the body's iron stores.
Aside from its main use, it also finds application in settings of chronic kidney disease, where patients might be on haemodialysis, non-dialysis dependent, or peritoneal dialysis dependent. The medicine helps restore the reduced iron levels resulting from chronic blood loss or decreased dietary intake and absorption of iron. By supplementing iron, it stimulates the production of red blood cells and increases haemoglobin levels to overcome anaemia.
