NANONIZED IRON COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide nanonized iron compositions for treatment of iron deficiency such as iron deficiency anemia. Many embodiments provide nanonized iron compositions which are sized to minimize adverse reaction such as immune response, adverse GI reaction and allergic reaction to iron compound included in the composition. The nanonized iron compositions can be used in a variety of drug delivery forms, including an oral dosage form, a transdermal patch, in an intravenous solution or in a dialysate for treatment of a patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Embodiments of the invention also provide methods of using the nanonized iron compositions for the treatment of iron deficiency in a patient in need thereof including patients with iron deficiency anemia and CKD.
