How does it work?

Iron sucrose is an aqueous complex in sucrose of poly-nuclear iron hydroxide. After entering the human body, Iron sucrose dissociates itself into iron and sucrose. This iron is then transported as a complex with transferrin to target cells including erythroid precursor cells. As the cells mature into red blood cells, the iron in the erythroid precursor cells gets incorporated into hemoglobin.
