Products such as Imferon, which contained high molecule weight iron dextran, were the only IV iron products available until the 1990s. [4] Although uncommon adverse reaction did occur, as such packaging informed users of the possible reactions and highly recommended completing a test dose before further treatment.
Iron preparation is the formulation for iron supplements indicated in prophylaxis and treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. Examples of iron preparation include ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, and ferrous fumarate. It can be administered orally, and by intravenous injection, or intramuscular injection.

Most patients experience an increase in their hemoglobin levels of at least 20 g/L. [ 3 ] Administration usually takes from fifteen to thirty minutes [ 3 ] and is done by a medical professional.
Iron oxide nanoparticles coated with dextran can be loaded with the microRNA miR-29a to selectively target breast cancer cells and down-regulate anti-apoptotic genes leading to successful breast cancer treatment. [6] Dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles loaded with heparinase-like antisense nucleic acid effectively target uterine cancer ...
Dextran 70 is a type of fluid given by injection into a vein to expand blood volume. [1] Specifically it is used for shock such as that caused by bleeding or burns when blood transfusions are not quickly available. [2] However, it does not carry oxygen.
