Iron 100 Inj.

Iron 100 Inj.

COMPOSITION

Contains per ml:

Iron-III (as hydroxide dextran complex) 100 mg

DESCRIPTION

Following intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of Iron 100 Inj., the

haemoglobin-concentration in the blood and packed cell volume increase

rapidly, especially in iron deficiency anaemia in animals. Most piglets are

born with minimum iron reserves, and after a few days the red blood cell

production begins to decrease and a deficiency in the overwhelming

growth of the young animals is noticed. Therefore it is very important to

supply this depletion of iron for normal growth and development of the young

animals. It has been proved that a dose of 2 ml given within the first 3 days of birth shows no loss of weight or health.

Iron supplement should be given as injection as a prophylactic aid to prevent iron deficiency anaemia and the consequences

(loss of appetite, diarrhoea, retarded growth, and diminished resistance against infectious agents and in changing the of

atmospheric conditions).

INDICATIONS

Iron 100 Inj. is indicated for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in piglets, calves, foals, pigs, cattle,

horses, sheep, goats and dogs. It is especially necessary in newborns and animals in anaemic conditions.

Secondary anaemia due to parasitic and bacterial infections, stress conditions (also due to transport), for the betterment

of breeding and growth of young animals, as supporting treatment of infectious diseases and in blood loss.

CONTRA-INDICATIONS

Vitamin-E deficiency and/or selenium deficiency in piglets are prevalent because of increased chance of toxicity.
