Medonic Injection

Medonic Injection is a clinically approved iron supplement containing Iron Sucrose (20mg/ml). It is widely used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Medonic Injection helps increase the body’s iron levels and supports the formation of healthy red blood cells. It is administered intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare professional and is known for its fast action and reduced risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to oral iron supplements.

Uses of Medonic Injection

• Treatment of iron deficiency anemia
• Iron supplementation for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Useful when oral iron is not effective or not tolerated
• Helps boost hemoglobin levels and reduces anemia-related fatigue

How Medonic Injection Works

Medonic Injection provides iron in the form of iron sucrose, which is delivered directly into the bloodstream. The iron is then used by the bone marrow to produce hemoglobin, a key component of red blood cells that carries oxygen. This helps correct iron deficiency and improve oxygen transport in the body.

Benefits of Medonic Injection

• Rapid replenishment of iron stores in the body
• Effective in patients with poor gastrointestinal tolerance to oral iron
• Reduces symptoms of anemia such as tiredness and breathlessness
• Safe for use in both dialysis and non-dialysis CKD patients

The dosage is determined based on the patient’s iron requirement, hemoglobin levels, and medical condition. Do not attempt to self-administer. Follow your doctor’s instructions for the entire course of treatment, and attend all follow-up appointments for blood tests.
