process for preparing iron hydroxide (iii) and activated glucose syrup complexes, iron (iii) hydroxide complex and glucose syrup complexes, and pharmaceutical composition.

摘要

The present invention generally relates to iron carbohydrate (iii) complexes and processes for the manufacture thereof. The product obtainable according to the method of the present invention can be safely used for the general population or animals in iron deficiency therapy. The process of the invention includes the steps of (i) preventing an aqueous glucose syrup solution having a certain equivalent of dextrose (de), (ii) adding one or more oxidizing bleaching agents, thereby obtaining activated glucose syrup; (iii) converting said activated glucose syrup to a complex with iron hydroxide (iii); and (iv) obtain an iron hydroxide (iii) complex and activated glucose syrup.
