A member asked:
Why is iron sucrose called iron sucrose if it has no sugar in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a complex: The iron is bound to the sucrose molecule as a carrier. If you need this medication, don't hesitate -- refined sugar / sucrose has a bad rap and iron deficiency will interfere with your ability to do what you need to in order to enjoy a productive life.
