Folini 20mg Injection

Folini 20mg Injection is a clinically approved iron supplement that contains Iron Sucrose (20mg/ml) as its active ingredient. It is primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Folini Injection helps restore depleted iron stores in the body, supports red blood cell production, and improves oxygen transport. It is especially beneficial for individuals who cannot tolerate or do not respond well to oral iron supplements. The injection is administered intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional for best results.

Uses of Folini 20mg Injection

• Treatment of iron deficiency anemia
• Iron supplementation for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Used when oral iron supplements are ineffective or poorly tolerated
• Corrects low hemoglobin levels and reduces anemia symptoms like fatigue

How Folini 20mg Injection Works

Folini 20mg Injection works by delivering iron in the form of iron sucrose directly into the bloodstream. This iron is absorbed by the bone marrow, where it is used to produce hemoglobin—the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The injection quickly replenishes iron stores and helps restore healthy red blood cell production.

Benefits of Folini 20mg Injection

• Rapid and effective replenishment of iron levels

• Improves energy, stamina, and overall quality of life
• Suitable for dialysis and non-dialysis CKD patients
