Cadila Pharmaceuticals Unveils Ground-breaking Iron Injection, a Revolutionary Treatment for Iron Deficiency Anaemia

Ahmedabad, 19^th March 2024 – Cadila Pharmaceuticals, a pioneer in the pharmaceutical industry, proudly announces the launch of a novel iron injection, a next-generation solution for addressing Iron Deficiency Anaemia. The product will be available as Redshot FCM, fortified with the advanced Ferric Carboxymallose formulation, designed for administration to both adults and paediatric patients over one year of age, especially those with oral iron intolerance.

Redshot Injection stands out as an intravenous iron preparation that not only delivers effective amounts of iron but also boasts an exemplary safety profile. With superior tolerability and minimal to zero risk of anaphylaxis, Redshot accelerates the improvement of haemoglobin levels and efficiently replenishes depleted iron stores. Offering heightened tolerability, the intravenous delivery of iron in Redshot facilitates the utilization of high doses in a single administration.

Anaemia, characterized by impaired physical activities, general weakness, lethargy, and fatigue, often goes unnoticed and is inadequately managed, particularly in pregnancy, the elderly population, and cancer patients. Remarkably, Redshot addresses this gap, as anaemia is prevalent in cancer patients and has been linked to lower survival rates for those grappling with this deficiency. Anaemia in pregnancy, if not treated, can complicate childbirth and can put mothers and neonates at serious risks.

Dr. Rajiv I. Modi, Chairman, and Managing Director of Cadila Pharmaceuticals, stated, “This innovation exemplifies our commitment to pharmaceutical excellence, contribution to the safe motherhood initiative, and correction of a very common health condition of iron deficiency anaemia. It
not only offers superior tolerability but also presents a transformative approach to replenishing iron stores rapidly and efficiently.”

Cadila Pharmaceuticals remains committed to advancing healthcare solutions and is proud to bring Redshot Injection to the forefront, offering a transformative approach to combating Iron Deficiency Anaemia. With its innovative formulation and enhanced safety features, Redshot marks a significant leap forward in the treatment landscape, ensuring a brighter and healthier future for patients worldwide.
