Indications
Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate is used to replace iron so that hemoglobin can be maintained in adult patients with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (HDD-CKD).
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Dosage Reference
⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.
Adults: Before you mix Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate into the bicarbonate concentrate, look at the ampoule for any sign of precipitation. Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate should only be added to the bicarbonate concentrate, never to acid concentrate mixtures. It goes into the bicarbonate concentrate that is used to make the hemodialysate. The final concentration of iron (III) in the final hemodialysate is 2 micromolar (110 mcg/L). At each center, several ampoules can be added to the master bicarbonate mix, at a ratio of one ampoule to each 2.5 gallons of bicarbonate concentrate.
Administer Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate to patients at every dialysis procedure, for as long as they are receiving maintenance hemodialysis therapy for CKD.
Use the hemodialysis solutions within 24 hours of preparing the Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate/bicarbonate concentrate mixture.
