Other Information

Ferric carboxymaltose, an iron replacement product, is an iron carbohydrate complex with the chemical name of polynuclear iron (III) hydroxide 4(R)-(poly-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-oxy-2(R),3(S),5(R),6-tetrahydroxy-hexanoate. It has a relative molecular weight of approximately 150,000 Da corresponding to the following empirical formula:

[FeOx(OH)y(H2O)z]n [{(C6H10O5)m (C6H12O7)}l]k

where n ≈ 103, m ≈ 8, l ≈ 11, and k ≈ 4
(l represents the mean branching degree of the ligand).
