FERRIC PYROPHOSPHATE CITRATE

FERRIC PYROPHOSPHATE CITRATE
Product Description

Ferric pyrophosphate citrate is a unique iron compound used to treat iron deficiency, particularly in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Unlike some iron supplements, it boasts a distinct apple green to greenish brown color and a characteristic odor. This free-flowing powder is surprisingly water-soluble, readily dissolving for intravenous administration. In contrast to iron's typical metallic character, ferric pyrophosphate citrate possesses a non-hygroscopic nature, meaning it won't absorb moisture from the air and clump. Scientifically, this compound combines ferric iron (Fe3+) with pyrophosphate and citrate molecules. The iron is securely bound within a complex structure, enhancing its bioavailability and reducing potential side effects. This unique chemical composition differentiates ferric pyrophosphate citrate from other iron supplements, making it a valuable tool for managing iron deficiency. As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality.
