Ferric Citrate Tablets
Ferric Citrate Tablets are an oral iron-based phosphate binder used to manage hyperphosphataemia (high phosphate levels) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to treat iron deficiency anaemia. The product provides dual therapeutic benefits — reducing serum phosphate levels while supplementing bioavailable iron, supporting overall metabolic balance in renal and anaemic conditions.
Composition for Ferric Citrate Tablets
Ferric Citrate is a ferric salt of citric acid that binds dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, forming insoluble ferric phosphate complexes excreted through the faeces.
It also releases absorbable iron, replenishing iron stores and increasing haemoglobin levels.
Each tablet is film-coated to ensure stability, improve tolerance, and minimise gastrointestinal discomfort.
Uses & Benefits
- Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in adults.
- Management of hyperphosphataemia in chronic kidney disease (especially in patients on dialysis).
- Helps maintain optimal iron levels and supports red blood cell production.
- Can be used as part of long-term therapy for CKD patients under medical supervision.
- Dual therapeutic action — corrects anaemia and lowers phosphate simultaneously.
- Reduces need for separate iron and phosphate binder therapy.
- Provides steady iron absorption with low risk of oxidative stress.
- Non-calcium-based binder — ideal for patients requiring calcium restriction.
- Well-tolerated with a favourable gastrointestinal safety profile.
- Improves haemoglobin levels and overall quality of life in CKD patients.
