Ferric Pyrophosphate is an iron replacement product used to treat iron deficiency in individuals, particularly those with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. It is a mixed-ligand iron complex in which iron (III) is bound to pyrophosphate and citrate, forming a stable and insoluble compound that can be more bioavailable and have milder gastrointestinal effects compared to other forms of iron supplementation.
Applications of Ferric Pyrophosphate include:
Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia: It is used to increase iron levels in the body, which is essential for the production of red blood cells, especially in dialysis patients who are at risk of iron deficiency.
Fortification of Foods: It is added to cereals, flours, and infant formulas to enhance their iron content and address dietary deficiencies.
Nutritional Supplement: It serves as an iron supplement in various nutritional products to ensure adequate iron intake for proper growth and development.
Pharmaceutical Formulations: It is used in the production of oral and injectable iron supplements, with the aim of improving the bioavailability and reducing gastrointestinal side effects associated with iron supplementation.
Veterinary Medicine: It has been used to treat anemias in animals, such as baby pigs, cats, and dogs.
