What is Iron Dextran?
Active Ingredients: Iron Dextran
Iron Dextran Injection is an iron replacement therapy used to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia in cows, goats, horses, piglets and sheep.

An Iron Dextran Injection may also be prescribed to adult animals suffering from anemia.
Iron Dextran Injection is a sterile solution containing ferric hydroxide in complex with a low-molecular-weight dextran fraction, which is equivalent to 100mg elemental iron per ml. Phenol 0.5% has been added as a preservative.
