One hundred thirty (11%) of the 1,151 patients evaluated in the 4 U.S. trials in HDD-CKD patients (studies A, B and the two post marketing studies) had prior other intravenous Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) therapy and were reported to be intolerant (defined as precluding further use of that Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) product). When these patients were treated with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) there were no occurrences of adverse reactions that precluded further use of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) .
Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Patients with CKD (ages 2 years and older)
In a randomized, open-label, dose-ranging trial for Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) maintenance treatment with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in pediatric patients with CKD on stable erythropoietin therapy , at least one treatment-emergent adverse reaction was experienced by 57% (27/47) of the patients receiving Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 0.5 mg/kg, 53% (25/47) of the patients receiving Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 1.0 mg/kg, and 55% (26/47) of the patients receiving Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 2.0 mg/kg.
A total of 5 (11%) subjects in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 0.5 mg/kg group, 10 (21%) patients in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 1.0 mg/kg group, and 10 (21%) patients in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 2.0 mg/kg group experienced at least 1 serious adverse reaction during the study. The most common treatment-emergent adverse reactions (> 2% of patients) in all patients were headache (6%), respiratory tract viral infection (4%), peritonitis (4%), vomiting (4%), pyrexia (4%), dizziness (4%), cough (4%), renal transplant (4%), nausea (3%), arteriovenous fistula thrombosis (2%), hypotension (2%), and hypertension (2.1%).
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
In the post-marketing safety studies in 1,051 treated patients with HDD-CKD, the adverse reactions reported by > 1% were: cardiac failure congestive, sepsis and dysgeusia.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)). Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure: Anaphylactic-type reactions, shock, loss of consciousness, collapse, bronchospasm, dyspnea, convulsions, light-headedness, confusion, angioedema, swelling of the joints, hyperhidrosis, back pain, bradycardia, and chromaturia.
Symptoms associated with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) total dosage or infusing too rapidly included hypotension, dyspnea, headache, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, joint aches, paresthesia, abdominal and muscle pain, edema, and cardiovascular collapse. These adverse reactions have occurred up to 30 minutes after the administration of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) injection. Reactions have occurred following the first dose or subsequent doses of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)). Symptoms may respond to intravenous fluids, hydrocortisone, and/or antihistamines. Slowing the infusion rate may alleviate symptoms.
Injection site discoloration has been reported following extravasation. Assure stable intravenous access to avoid extravasation.
Drug interactions involving Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) have not been studied. However, Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) may reduce the absorption of concomitantly administered oral Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) preparations.
Pregnancy Category B
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, Ferro Syrup ) sucrose was administered intravenously to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 13 mg/kg/day of elemental Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (half or equivalent to the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area, respectively) and revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose. Because animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response, Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
It is not known whether Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose is excreted in human milk. Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose is secreted into the milk of lactating rats. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is administered to a nursing woman.
Safety and effectiveness of Ferro Syrup ) for Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) replacement treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD have not been established.
Safety and effectiveness of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) for Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD receiving erythropoietin therapy were studied. Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) at doses of 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg was administered. All three doses maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL in about 50% of subjects over the 12-week treatment period with stable EPO dosing. [See Clinical Studies (14.6)]
Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) has not been studied in patients younger than 2 years of age.
In a country where Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is available for use in children, at a single site, five premature infants (weight less than 1,250 g) developed necrotizing enterocolitis and two of the five died during or following a period when they received Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)), several other medications and erythropoietin. Necrotizing enterocolitis may be a complication of prematurity in very low birth weight infants. No causal relationship to Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) or any other drugs could be established.
Clinical studies of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Of the 1,051 patients in two post-marketing safety studies of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)), 40% were 65 years and older. No overall differences in safety were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. In general, dose administration to an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
No data are available regarding overdosage of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in humans. Excessive dosages of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) may lead to accumulation of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in storage sites potentially leading to hemosiderosis. Do not administer Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) to patients with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) overload.
Toxicities in single-dose studies in mice and rats, at intravenous Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose doses up to 8 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area, included sedation, hypoactivity, pale eyes, bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract and lungs, and mortality.
Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (iron sucrose injection, USP), an Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) replacement product, is a brown, sterile, aqueous, complex of polynuclear Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (III)-hydroxide in sucrose for intravenous use. Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose injection has a molecular weight of approximately 34,000 to 60,000 daltons and a proposed structural formula:
[Na2Fe5O8(OH) ·3(H2O)]n ·m(C12H22O11)
where: n is the degree of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) polymerization and m is the number of sucrose molecules associated with the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (III)-hydroxide.
Each mL contains 20 mg elemental Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) as Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose in water for injection. Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is available in 10 mL single-use vials (200 mg elemental Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) per 10 mL), 5 mL single-use vials (100 mg elemental Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) per 5 mL), and 2.5 mL single-use vials (50 mg elemental Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) per 2.5 mL). The drug product contains approximately 30% sucrose w/v (300 mg/mL) and has a pH of 10.5 to 11.1. The product contains no preservatives. The osmolarity of the injection is 1,250 mOsmol/L.
Ferro Syrup ) is an aqueous complex of poly-nuclear Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (III)-hydroxide in sucrose. Following intravenous administration, Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is dissociated into Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) and sucrose and the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is transported as a complex with transferrin to target cells including erythroid precursor cells. The Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in the precursor cells is incorporated into hemoglobin as the cells mature into red blood cells.
Following intravenous administration, Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is dissociated into Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) and sucrose. In 22 patients undergoing hemodialysis and receiving erythropoietin (recombinant human erythropoietin) therapy treated with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose containing 100 mg of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)), three times weekly for three weeks, significant increases in serum Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) and serum ferritin and significant decreases in total Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) binding capacity occurred four weeks from the initiation of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose treatment.
In healthy adults administered intravenous doses of Ferro Syrup ), its Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) component exhibited first order kinetics with an elimination half-life of 6 h, total clearance of 1.2 L/h, and steady state apparent volume of distribution of 7.9 L. The Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) component appeared to distribute mainly in blood and to some extent in extravascular fluid. A study evaluating Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) containing 100 mg of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) labeled with 52Fe/59Fe in patients with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) deficiency showed that a significant amount of the administered Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is distributed to the liver, spleen and bone marrow and that the bone marrow is an irreversible Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) trapping compartment.
Following intravenous administration of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)), Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose is dissociated into Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) and sucrose. The sucrose component is eliminated mainly by urinary excretion. In a study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) containing 1,510 mg of sucrose and 100 mg of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in 12 healthy adults (9 female, 3 male: age range 32 to 52), 68.3% of the sucrose was eliminated in urine in 4 h and 75.4% in 24 h. Some Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) was also eliminated in the urine. Neither transferrin nor transferrin receptor levels changed immediately after the dose administration. In this study and another study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose containing 500 to 700 mg of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in 26 patients with anemia on erythropoietin therapy (23 female, 3 male; age range 16 to 60), approximately 5% of the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) was eliminated in urine in 24 h at each dose level. The effects of age and gender on the pharmacokinetics of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) have not been studied.
Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients
In a single-dose PK study of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)), patients with NDD-CDK ages 12 to 16 (N=11) received intravenous bolus doses of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) at 7 mg/kg (maximum 200 mg) administered over 5 minutes. Following single dose Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)), the half-life of total serum Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) was 8 hours. The mean Cmax and AUC values were 8545 μg/dl and 31305 hr-μg/dL, respectively, which were 1.42- and 1.67-fold higher than dose adjusted adult Cmax and AUC values.
Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) is not dialyzable through CA210 (Baxter) High Efficiency or Fresenius F80A High Flux dialysis membranes. In in vitro studies, the amount of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose in the dialysate fluid was below the levels of detection of the assay (less than 2 parts per million).
Carcinogenicity studies have not been performed with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose.
Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose was not mutagenic in vitro in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) or the mouse lymphoma assay. Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose was not clastogenic in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay using human lymphocytes or in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay.
Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) sucrose at intravenous doses up to 15 mg/kg/day of elemental Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (1.2 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area) had no effect on fertility and reproductive function of male and female rats.
Five clinical trials involving 647 adult patients and one clinical trial involving 131 pediatric patients were conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of Ferro Syrup ).
Study A was a multicenter, open-label, historically-controlled study in 101 patients with HDD-CKD (77 patients with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) treatment and 24 in the historical control group) with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) deficiency anemia. Eligibility criteria for Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) treatment included patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, receiving erythropoietin, hemoglobin level between 8.0 and 11.0 g/dL, transferrin saturation < 20%, and serum ferritin < 300 ng/mL. The mean age of the patients was 65 years with the age range of 31 to 85 years. Of the 77 patients, 44 (57%) were male and 33 (43%) were female.
Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 100 mg was administered at 10 consecutive dialysis sessions either as slow injection or a slow infusion. The historical control population consisted of 24 patients with similar ferritin levels as patients treated with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)), who were off intravenous Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) for at least 2 weeks and who had received erythropoietin therapy with hematocrit averaging 31 to 36 for at least two months prior to study entry. The mean age of patients in the historical control group was 56 years, with an age range of 29 to 80 years. Patient age and serum ferritin level were similar between treatment and historical control patients.
Patients in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) treated population showed a greater increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit than did patients in the historical control population. See Table 2.

Serum ferritin increased at endpoint of study from baseline in the Venofer-treated population (165.3 ± 24.2 ng/mL) compared to the historical control population (-27.6 ± 9.5 ng/mL). Transferrin saturation also increased at endpoint of study from baseline in the Venofer-treated population (8.8 ± 1.6%) compared to this historical control population (-5.1 ± 4.3%).
Study B was a multicenter, open label study of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in 23 patients with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) deficiency and HDD-CKD who had been discontinued from Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) dextran due to intolerance. Eligibility criteria were otherwise identical to Study A. The mean age of the patients in this study was 53 years, with ages ranging from 21 to 79 years. Of the 23 patients enrolled in the study, 10 (44%) were male and 13 (56%) were female.
All 23 enrolled patients were evaluated for efficacy. Increases in mean hemoglobin (1.1 ± 0.2 g/dL), hematocrit (3.6 ± 0.6%), serum ferritin (266.3 ± 30.3 ng/mL) and transferrin saturation (8.7 ± 2.0%) were observed from baseline to end of treatment.
Study C was a multicenter, open-label study in patients with HDD-CKD. This study enrolled patients with a hemoglobin ≤ 10 g/dL, a serum transferrin saturation ≤ 20%, and a serum ferritin ≤ 200 ng/mL, who were undergoing maintenance hemodialysis 2 to 3 times weekly. The mean age of the patients enrolled in this study was 41 years, with ages ranging from 16 to 70 years. Of 130 patients evaluated for efficacy in this study, 68 (52%) were male and 62 (48%) were female. Forty-eight percent of the patients had previously been treated with oral Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)). Exclusion criteria were similar to those in studies A and B. Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) was administered in doses of 100 mg during sequential dialysis sessions until a pre-determined (calculated) total dose of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) was administered. A 50 mg dose (2.5 mL) was given to patients within two weeks of study entry as a test dose. Twenty-seven patients (20%) were receiving erythropoietin treatment at study entry and they continued to receive the same erythropoietin dose for the duration of the study.
The modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population consisted of 131 patients. Increases from baseline in mean hemoglobin (1.7 g/dL), hematocrit (5%), serum ferritin (434.6 ng/mL), and serum transferrin saturation (14%) were observed at week 2 of the observation period and these values remained increased at week 4 of the observation period.
Study D was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of oral Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) versus Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) in patients with NDD-CKD with or without erythropoietin therapy. Erythropoietin therapy was stable for 8 weeks prior to randomization. In the study 188 patients with NDD-CKD, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.0 g/dL, transferrin saturation ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 300 ng/mL were randomized to receive oral Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (325 mg ferrous sulfate three times daily for 56 days); or Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (either 200 mg over 2 to 5 minutes 5 times within 14 days or two 500 mg infusions on Day 1 and Day 14, administered over 3.5 to 4 hours). The mean age of the 91 treated patients in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) group was 61.6 years (range 25 to 86 years) and 64 years (range 21 to 86 years) for the 91 patients in the oral Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) group.
A statistically significantly greater proportion of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) subjects (35/79; 44.3%) compared to oral Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) subjects (23/82; 28%) had an increase in hemoglobin ≥ 1 g/dL at anytime during the study (p = 0.03).
Study E was a randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin and intravenous Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) to patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin alone without Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) supplementation. Patients with PDD-CKD, stable erythropoietin for 8 weeks, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.5 g/dL, TSAT ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 500 ng/mL were randomized to receive either no Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) or Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (300 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 1.5 hours on Day 1 and 15 and 400 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 2.5 hours on Day 29). The mean age of the 75 treated patients in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) / erythropoietin group was 51.9 years (range 21 to 81 years) vs. 52.8 years (range 23 to 77 years) for 46 patients in the erythropoietin alone group.
Patients in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) / erythropoietin group had statistically significantly greater mean change from baseline to the highest hemoglobin value (1.3 g/dL), compared to subjects who received erythropoietin alone (0.6 g/dL) (p < 0.01). A greater proportion of subjects treated with Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) / erythropoietin (59.1 %) had an increase in hemoglobin of ≥ 1 g/dL at any time during the study compared to the subjects who received erythropoietin only (33.3%).
Study F was a randomized, open-label, dose-ranging study for Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD on stable erythropoietin therapy. The study randomized patients to one of three doses of Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) (0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg or 2.0 mg/kg). The mean age was 13 years (range 2 to 20 years). Over 70% of patients were 12 years or older in all three groups. There were 84 males and 61 females. About 60% of patients underwent hemodialysis and 25% underwent peritoneal dialysis in all three dose groups. At baseline, the mean hemoglobin was 12 g/dL, the mean TSAT was 33% and the mean ferritin was 300 ng/mL. Patients with HDD-CKD received Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) once every other week for 6 doses. Patients with PDD-CKD or NDD-CKD received Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) once every 4 weeks for 3 doses. Among 131 evaluable patients with stable erythropoietin dosing, the proportion of patients who maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL during the 12-week treatment period was 58.7%, 46.7%, and 45.0% in the Ferro Syrup (Iron (Iron III Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex)) 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg groups, respectively. A dose-response relationship was not demonstrated.

Vitamin B12:
Ferro Syrup refers to a group of water-soluble vitamins. It has high biological activity. Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) is necessary for normal hematopoiesis (promotes maturation of erythrocytes). Involved in the processes of transmethylation, hydrogen transport, synthesis of methionine, nucleic acids, choline, creatine. Contributes to the accumulation in erythrocytes of compounds containing sulfhydryl groups. Has a beneficial effect on liver function and the nervous system. Activates the coagulation of blood in high doses causes an increase in the activity of thromboplastin and prothrombin.
After oral administration Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Metabolized in the tissues, becoming a co-enzyme form - adenosylcobalamin which is the active form of cyanocobalamin. Excreted in bile and urine.
Anemia due to B12-deficiency conditions; in the complex therapy for iron and posthemorrhagic anemia; aplastic anemia caused by toxic substances and drugs; liver disease (hepatitis, cirrhosis); funicular myelosis; polyneuritis, radiculitis, neuralgia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; children cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, peripheral nerve injury; skin diseases (psoriasis, photodermatosis, herpetiformis dermatitis, neurodermatitis); to prevent and treat symptoms of deficiency of Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) (including the application of biguanide, PASA, vitamin C in high doses); radiation sickness.
Ferro Syrup is used as injections SC, IV, IM, intralumbar, and also oral. With anemia associated with Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) deficiency is introduced on 100-200 mcg in 2 days. In anemia with symptoms of funicular myelosis and megalocytic anemia with diseases of the nervous system - 400-500 micrograms in the first 7 days daily, then 1 time every 5-7 days. In the period of remission in the absence of events funicular myelosis maintenance dose - 100 mcg 2 times a month, in the presence of neurological symptoms - at 200-400 mcg 2-4 times a month. In acute post-hemorrhagic anemia and iron anemia by 30-100 mcg 2-3 times a week. When aplastic anemia (especially in children) - 100 micrograms before clinical improvement. When nutritional anemia in infants and preterm - 30 mcg / day during 15 days.
In diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system and neurological diseases with a pain syndrome is administered in increasing doses - 200-500 mcg, with the improvement in the state - 100 mcg / day. The course of treatment with Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) is 2 weeks. In traumatic lesions of peripheral nervous system - at 200-400 mcg every other day for 40-45 days.
When hepatitis and cirrhosis - 30-60 mcg / day or 100 mg every other day for 25-40 days.
Dystrophy in young children, Down syndrome and cerebral palsy - by 15-30 mcg every other day.
When funicular myelosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can be introduced into the spinal canal at 15-30 mcg, gradually increasing the dose of 200-250 micrograms.
In radiation sickness, diabetic neuropathy, sprue - by 60-100 mcg daily for 20-30 days.
When deficiency of Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) to prevent - IV or IM for 1 mg 1 time a month; for treatment - IV or IM for 1 mg daily for 1-2 weeks, the maintenance dose is 1-2 mg IV or IM from 1 per week, up to 1 per month. Duration of treatment is determined individually.
CNS: rarely - a state of arousal.
Cardiovascular system: rarely - pain in the heart, tachycardia.
Allergic reactions: rarely - urticaria.
Thromboembolism, erythremia, erythrocytosis, increased sensitivity to cyanocobalamin.
Cyanocobalamin can be used in pregnancy according to prescriptions.
When stenocardia should be used with caution in a single dose of Ferro Syrup 100 mcg. During treatment should regularly monitor the blood picture and coagulation. It is unacceptable to enter in the same syringe with cyanocobalamin solutions of thiamine and pyridoxine.
In an application of Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) with hormonal contraceptives for oral administration may decrease the concentration of cyanocobalamin in plasma.
In an application with anticonvulsant drugs decreased cyanocobalamin absorption from the gut.
In an Ferro Syrup (Vitamin B12) application with neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, colchicine, cimetidine, ranitidine, drugs potassium decreased cyanocobalamin absorption from the gut.
Cyanocobalamin may exacerbate allergic reactions caused by thiamine.
When parenteral application of chloramphenicol may decrease the hematopoietic effects of cyanocobalamin with anemia.
Pharmaceutical incompatibility
Contained in the molecule of cyanocobalamin cobalt ion contributes to the destruction of ascorbic acid, thiamine bromide, riboflavin in one solution.
