Pharmacosmos Inc. has announced that its Uniferon® brand of
injectable iron for baby pigs will be available for the US market
April 1, 2011 following US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Pharmacosmos will offer
both Uniferon® 200 (200mg iron/ml) and Uniferon® 100 (100mg
iron/ml) to swine producers and livestock veterinarians across the
United States.
Pharmacosmos provides US customers with a reliable supply of
high quality, veterinary iron. In fact, Uniferon® 200 is the only
200mg/ml veterinary iron supplement that is approved by both the
FDA and health authorities in Europe and Asia.
Uniferon® 200 is a result of Pharmacosmos' own research and is a
ready-to-use injectable iron supplement for baby pigs that prevents
iron deficiency anemia, boosts growth and improves health.
Pharmacosmos has a new state-of-the-art manufacturing and
research facility in Denmark as a result of an investment of more
than 100 million USD in 2003. Today Pharmacosmos is a leader in
iron therapy and associated pharmaceutical research. The company
develops, manufactures and markets innovative therapies for the
treatment of iron deficiency in both humans and animals.
Pharmacosmos has been supplying the US market with high quality
FDA approved APIs for human and veterinary use since the 1980s.
In recent years there has been an inconsistent supply of
veterinary injectable iron dextran products in the US due to the
problems associated with previous manufacturers to consistently
meet FDA requirements. Pharmacosmos understands these demands and
is committed to the high standards of FDA compliance. It has been a
major goal with a required investment to assure there is an
uninterrupted and quality supply of products to the US market.
As distribution partner in the US, Pharmacosmos has appointed
Ivesco, a major distribution company which has serviced the swine
industry for more than 50 years. For more information
regarding availability and pricing of the Uniferon® product line,
