Product Introduction

Isoneph injection 5x1ml contains the active ingredient Iron (III) Isomaltoside and belongs to the class of anti-anemic medicines. It is indicated for iron replacement therapy in adults with iron deficiency anemia who are intolerant to oral iron or have shown inadequate response to oral iron preparations. The injection is also used to treat iron deficiency anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis who cannot tolerate oral iron supplementation.
