Description

Sodium ferric gluconate complex (brand name Ferrlecit by Sanofi) is an intravenously administered iron product. Ferrlecit is an iron complex. It works by providing the body with its necessary level of iron. Ferric gluconate has been shown to be effective in dialysis and non-dialysis associated anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It has also been shown to be effective in improving responses to EPO in chemotherapy induced anemia.
