Liporen
Description:
LIPOREN™ is an advanced liposomal iron formulation designed to provide effective iron supplementation with superior absorption and gastrointestinal tolerability. The liposomal delivery technology encapsulates ferric pyrophosphate within a phospholipid matrix, helping protect iron from degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and enhancing its bioavailability. This results in efficient iron delivery while minimizing common gastrointestinal side effects associated with conventional oral iron preparations.
Vitamin C enhances iron absorption and supports antioxidant defence, while Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 support as co factors in erythropoiesis. Together, these help support healthy hemoglobin levels, improve iron stores, and promote overall vitality and energy.
LIPOREN™ is particularly beneficial for patients requiring long-term iron supplementation, including those with chronic illnesses, nutritional deficiencies, and conditions associated with increased iron requirements such as in chronic kidney disease patients.
Category: Renal Anemia
Indications
LIPOREN™ is indicated for:
- Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA)
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)-associated anemia
- Post-operative and post-illness anemia
- Patients intolerant to conventional oral iron preparations
Composition
Each capsule contains:
- Liposomal Ferric Pyrophosphate – 30 mg
- Vitamin C – 50 mg
- Folic Acid – 300 mcg
- Vitamin B12 – 0.75 mcg
Mechanism of action:
Ferric pyrophosphate works by:
- Forming a strong complex with other species
- Triggering iron removal from transferrin
- Enhancing iron transfer from transferrin to ferritin
- Promoting iron exchange between transferrin molecules
Liposomal iron is absorbed into the intestinal lumen by microfold cells (M cells) in the small intestine. The liposome is then incorporated into macrophages by endocytosis and reaches hepatocytes through the lymphatic system
Purpose
Iron Supplementation: Liposomal ferric pyrophosphate is a source of elemental iron, an essential component for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Liposomal Delivery: Liposomes are small vesicles made of lipids that can encapsulate and deliver substances, in this case, iron. The liposomal delivery system is designed to enhance the absorption of iron in the gastrointestinal tract.
Avoiding Gastrointestinal Side Effects: Traditional iron supplements can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation or stomach upset. Liposomal formulations aim to minimize these side effects by improving iron absorption in the intestines
Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia: Liposomal ferric pyrophosphate is prescribed for individuals with iron deficiency anemia, including those who cannot tolerate other forms of oral iron supplements due to gastrointestinal issue
Dosage:
As directed by the physician.
The dosage and duration of therapy may vary depending on the severity of anemia, iron status, and clinical requirements.
Presentation:
One carton contains 1 strip of 10 Capsules each.
