Product Overview
Iron(III) hydroxide polysaccharide complex is an iron–carbohydrate active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
It is a macromolecular complex made from iron(III) hydroxide bound to a polysaccharide carrier such as polymaltose.
The material is usually a brown to dark brown solid powder.
Each batch has a defined iron content and clear impurity limits.
It is made under controlled conditions, so quality and particle form stay consistent.
This API is supplied for use in regulated formulations only and is not a finished medicine by itself.
Therapeutic Applications
The iron (III) hydroxide polysaccharide complex is used as an API in oral iron products.
These finished products sit in the hematology and nutrition segments.
At the product level, it is classed as an iron–polysaccharide complex for oral use.
The exact indication, dose, and product category are decided in the finished-product dossier and must follow local rules, not API rules.
Our role at the API level is to provide stable, quality material that fits these authorised products.

Packaging & Storage
The Iron(III) hydroxide polysaccharide complex is put in containers that keep out the light.
These containers are made of things like HDPE. They Come in different forms, such as bottles, drums, and large fibre drums.
There are also bags made of polyethylene and foil-lined bags.
Each one of these containers has a label on it with information like what is inside, the batch number, how much is in it, when it was made and when it will expire.
The Iron(III) hydroxide polysaccharide complex needs to be kept in a dry, dark place.
It should be away from heat and moisture to stay good.
Therefore, it is necessary that it is used while it is tightly closed so that it is protected from moisture and the environment.
