The Iron-dextran complex is a complex of ferric oxyhydroxide with dextrans of 5000 to 7000 daltons in a viscous solution containing 50 mg/ml of iron. With the CAS registry number 9004-66-4, it is also named as Ferric dextran. The classification codes are Drug / Therapeutic Agent; Hematinic; Hematinics; Hematologic Agents; Human Data; Reproductive Effect; Tumor data. It is dark reddish-brown liquid which is soluble in hot water, soluble in ethanol and other organic solvents. Additionally, Iron-dextran is combustible, unstable at a pH of 5 and decomposes at 149-158° F. It may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air. The symptoms associated with exposure to Iron-dextran are headaches, vomiting, and dizziness. When not being used, product containers should be kept sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
Uses of Iron-dextran complex: It is supplied as a parenteral preparation and is used as a hematinic. Furthermore, it used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia of Pigs and other livestock, promoting growth and development.
