Iron complexes of hydroxy pyridones useful for treating iron deficiency anemia

摘要

Pharmaceutical compositions containing an iron complex of a 3- hydroxypyrid-2-one or 3-hydroxypyrid-4-one in which the hydrogen atom attached to the nitrogen atom is replaced by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group and, optionally, in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms attached to ring carbon atoms are also replaced by an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, are of value for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia.
