The role of iron

Iron deficiency occurs when the body doesn’t have enough of the mineral iron. The body needs iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen to muscles and tissues. Eating an iron-rich diet is good, but it is often not enough to treat iron deficiency anemia. Duroferon is Sweden’s most commonly used medication for treating iron deficiency anemia.

Duroferon/Ferrojeern is sold in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Islandic pharmacies
