Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide

Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide is a polynuclear iron-based compound developed primarily as a phosphate binder. It consists of an iron oxyhydroxide core stabilized with sucrose and starch derivatives, resulting in a stable, insoluble complex. Due to its minimal systemic absorption, sucroferric oxyhydroxide effectively binds dietary phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract while minimizing iron uptake, reducing the risk of iron overload. Its design supports targeted action within the gut. Key Features: • Strong phosphate-binding capacity • Minimal systemic iron absorption • Stable iron–carbohydrate structure Applications: • Hyperphosphatemia Management • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) • Dialysis Patients
