Iron sucrose belongs to the functional class of iron replacement products.
Iron sucrose is a medication used to treat iron deficiency anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are undergoing dialysis. It works by providing a source of iron that the body can use to produce more red blood cells, effectively replenishing iron stores.
Iron replacement products, as a functional class, aim to address iron deficiencies by providing the body with supplemental iron. This helps to correct anemia and improve overall health in individuals who are unable to absorb sufficient iron through diet alone or who have increased iron requirements due to certain medical conditions.
