Iron dextran 20%, 100 ml

IRON DEXTRAN 20%

– injectable solution for piglets.

COMPOSITION
– 1 ml of injectable solution contains:
Iron (III) (in the form of a complex of iron hydroxide with dextran)….. 200 mg;
Excipients:
Phenol …………………………………………………………………………………. 5 mg.
Sodium chloride, water for injections.

ACTION
Iron dextran has an antianemic action. Antianemics stimulate the formation of hemoglobin and are active in iron deficiency anemia. Following intramuscular administration, the drug is well absorbed, being stored in the liver. From here, the body takes up the necessary amounts of iron, using them for the synthesis of red blood cells, preventing anemia. Excess iron is eliminated through the digestive tract.

INDICATIONS
Prophylaxis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia in all forms, post-hemorrhagic, following helminthiasis, infectious diseases and postpartum septicemia, as well as in hemorrhagic diseases.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Administered intramuscularly in 1-2 separate points in the following doses, depending on the animal species:
Piglets:
Prophylactic: 0.5-1 ml product / animal 2-4 days after birth.
Curative: 1 ml / animal.
Calves:
Prophylactic: 2-4 ml product / animal in the first week of life (divided into two separate points).
Curative: 3-6 ml product / animal (administered for two consecutive days in two separate points in the maximum amount of 3 ml / day).
Lambs, kids:
Prophylactic: 0.5 ml product / animal 2-4 days after birth.
Curative: 1 ml product / animal. In case of clinical signs of anemia, a second dose may be administered in the third or fourth week of life.

CONTRAINDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Do not administer parenterally to animals born with vitamin E and selenium deficiency. The product should not be used for intravenous administration, as it may cause phlebitis. Do not administer to animals with kidney disease. Do not administer in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of the excipients. Pigmentary skin impregnation may occur at the site of administration. Avoid administering allopurinol to animals receiving iron because it inhibits xanthine oxidase, the iron mobilization agent in the liver.
Deposits of Fe ions have been detected in the liver as a result of this action.
It reduces the oral absorption of tetracyclines with which it forms insoluble, non-absorbable complexes in the gastrointestinal tract. Chloramphenicol may slow down the reaction to iron administration. Administration of very high doses can cause: siderosis, hypothermic intoxication, shock and death.

WITHDRAWAL TIME
