  • Where are Uniferon® products manufactured?

  • The finished products are manufactured for Pharmacosmos, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary that owns the Uniferon® 100 and 200 product registrations, by a U.S. FDA approved domestic contract manufacturer that was specifically approved by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) of the FDA.

     

    The 100 and 200 mg/mL iron dextran bulk liquid active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for Uniferon are manufactured in the FDA approved Pharmacosmos A/S facility in Denmark.

  • Back to Questions
  • Why is it better to use one dose of Iron Dextran Complex Injection, 200 mg/mL over two injections of Iron Dextran Complex Injection, 100 mg/mL?

  • Uniferon® 200 contains 200 mg of elemental iron per mL, which is double the strength of 100 mg/mL iron products.

     

    Since all baby pigs require a standard 200 mg of iron treatment regimen, using a one (1) mL dosage of Uniferon® 200 ensures adequate iron supplementation requirements, reduces the stress on baby pigs from an unnecessary second injection and, thus, reduces the labor costs as well.
