Astofer 20 MG Injection 5 ML contains iron sucrose (100 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Iron Sucrose Dissociation: Once Astofer 20 MG Injection 5 ML is administered intravenously, the iron sucrose dissociates into iron and sucrose within your body's reticuloendothelial system.
• Iron Transportation: The released iron is then transported, incorporated into the haemoglobin in red blood cells, and stored in ferritin, the body's iron storage protein.
• Iron Supply Increase: By increasing the supply of iron, Astofer 20 MG Injection 5 ML stimulates the production of haemoglobin and red blood cells, thereby addressing the underlying cause of iron deficiency anaemia.
