Brand names: Iron Sucrose
12.1 Mechanism of Action Iron sucrose is an aqueous complex of poly-nuclear iron (III)-hydroxide in sucrose. Following intravenous administration, iron sucrose is dissociated into iron and sucrose and the iron is transported as a complex with transferrin to target cells including erythroid precursor cells. The iron in the precursor cells is incorporated into hemoglobin as the cells mature into red blood cells.
