Ekros Injection 5 ML

Ekros Injection 5 ML is used for the following:

• Management of iron deficiency anaemia: This condition occurs when your body lacks enough healthy red blood cells due to insufficient iron levels.
• Restoration of iron stores in your body: It helps replenish depleted iron reserves, essential for the production of red blood cells.
• Treatment of anaemia in patients with chronic kidney disease: It's particularly beneficial if you're on haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.

• A healthcare professional should administer this injection in a hospital or clinical setting.
• It's important to attend all scheduled appointments and follow-up visits to monitor your response to treatment and assess your iron status.
• Your doctor can provide specific advice based on your condition.

Ekros Injection 5 ML is administered intravenously.

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

• Iron Sucrose Dissociation: Once Ekros 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, Ekros Injection 5 ML stimulates the production of haemoglobin and red blood cells, thereby addressing the underlying cause of iron deficiency anaemia.

• Keep Ekros Injection 5 ML in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
• The ideal storage temperature is below 25°C.
• Avoid moisture exposure to the injection vial.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're managing iron deficiency anaemia, try to include iron-rich foods in your diet, such as lean red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and cereals fortified with iron.
• Since Ekros Injection 5 ML is beneficial for chronic kidney disease patients, maintaining a balanced diet low in salt and high-quality protein can help manage your condition better. Always consult your doctor for specific dietary recommendations.
