Introduction to Intafer Iv 5ml Injection
Intafer IV 5ml Injection contains an active ingredient called Iron (III) Isomaltoside. It belongs to the medication class known as anti-anemic medicines.

Additionally, this medication treats this condition in individuals with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis and cannot take oral iron supplementation.
