How ENCICARB 1K INJECTION Works

ENCICARB 1K INJECTION contains iron (III) hydroxide complexed with a carbohydrate polymer called carboxymaltose, which is capable of releasing iron. The iron released from the complex helps in the synthesis of haemoglobin and increases the red blood cell count. As a result, it manages iron-deficiency anaemia.
