Description
Iron Dextran solution is a sterile solution containing ferric hydroxide in complex with a low molecular weight dextran
fraction equivalent to 200 mg elemental iron per mL with 0.5% phenol as a preservative.
Actions
Iron Dextran Injection is easy and economical to use. Injection into the ham is rapid, safe, effective, quickly absorbed
by the blood and goes to work immediately. With Iron Dextran Injection, the right dosage can be given to every animal
with assurance that it will be utilized. Iron deficiency anemia occurs commonly in the suckling pig, often within the first
few days following birth. As body size and blood volume increase rapidly from the first few days following birth, hemoglobin
levels in the blood fall due to diminishing iron reserves which cannot be replaced adequately from iron in the sow's milk.
This natural deficiency lowers the resistance of the pig and scours, pneumonia or other infections may develop and lead to
death of the animal. Pigs not hampered by iron deficiency anemia are more likely to experience normal growth and to
maintain their normal level of resistance to disease. Adequate iron is necessary for normal, healthy, vigorous growth.
Iron Dextran Injection Indications
Iron Dextran Injection is intended for the prevention or treatment of anemia in baby pigs due to iron deficiency.
Notice
Organic iron preparation injected intramuscularly into pigs beyond 4 weeks of age may cause staining of the ham muscle.
Iron Dextran Injection Dosage And Administration
For the prevention of anemia due to iron deficiency, administer an intramuscular injection of 200 milligrams of elemental
iron (1 mL) at 1 to 3 days of age. For the treatment of anemia due to iron deficiency, administer an intramuscular injection
of 200 milligrams of elemental iron (1 mL) at the first signs of anemia.
