Drug Overview
Venofer (poly-nuclear iron (III)-hydroxide in sucrose; Vifor/Luitpold Pharmaceuticals) is an iron maintenance treatment used to help elevate hemoglobin levels in patients with anemia in chronic kidney disease. It is administered intravenously and is dissociated into iron and sucrose once in circulation. The iron is transported via transferrin to erythroid precursor cells. Erythroid precursor cells incorporate the iron into hemoglobin as the cell matures into a red blood cell.
