Wofer-XT Injection

Wofer-XT Injection is an iron replacement medicine used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It contains Iron Sucrose (20mg/ml), which is administered intravenously under medical supervision. This injectable form of iron helps restore healthy iron levels in the body, especially in patients who cannot tolerate oral iron supplements or have chronic kidney disease. It ensures rapid improvement in hemoglobin levels and helps manage symptoms like fatigue and weakness caused by anemia.

Uses of Wofer-XT Injection

How Wofer-XT Injection works

Wofer-XT Injection works by replenishing iron stores in the body. Iron Sucrose is absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen throughout the body, improving energy and overall health. This mechanism helps reverse the effects of anemia efficiently and safely.
