As manufacturer of Ferric Citrate we hereby state the following facts about the drug:

Ferrous citrate describes coordination complexes containing citrate anions with Fe²⁺ formed in an aqueous solution. Ferrous citrates are all paramagnetic, reflecting the weak crystal field of the carboxylate ligands. Ferrous citrates are produced by treating disodium citrate Na₂C₆H₆O₇ with sources of iron (II) aqua complexes. Gastrointestinal absorption of iron is adequate.

 

Therapeutic uses:

• Hematinic
• The in vitro and in vivo availability of iron from total parenteral nutrition solutions to which ferrous citrate has been added was investigated. In vitro experiments showed that 74% of the added iron was available to transferrin. In 7 patients in whom in vivo availability was tested by red cell incorporation, the mean availability was 81%. It was concluded that ferrous citrate is a safe and effective means of iron supplementation in patients on TPN therapy.
• In ferrokinetic studies of iron absorption and turnover rates. Ferrous citrate is especially useful in that it may be administered directly into the bloodstream where it reacts with the metal-binding globulin normally present in excess, thus avoiding the isolation and in vitro tagging of that protein.
• Iron compounds can be used as catalysts, pigments, drugs, agriculture, nutrition, metallurgy, and leather tanning.

Global Calcium is a leading manufacturer of this drug. We manufacture this pharmaceutical drug and make it available to domestic and overseas market
