Molecular Formula: C₆H₅FeO₇

Specification: Available in various concentrations, suitable for oral administration in the treatment of hyperphosphatemia and iron deficiency anemia

Ingredient Information: Ferric Citrate is a compound formed by complexing ferric ions (Fe³⁺) with citrate anions. It serves dual purposes as a phosphate binder and an iron supplement. The citrate component facilitates the binding of phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing its absorption, while the ferric ion provides a bioavailable form of iron.

Uses: Ferric Citrate is primarily used in the management of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. It helps control serum phosphorus levels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular events associated with elevated phosphate levels. Additionally, Ferric Citrate is utilized to treat iron deficiency anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis, offering a means to replenish iron stores without the need for intravenous iron supplementation.
