글렙토페론

개요Gleptoferron is a macromolecular complex composed of β-hydroxide iron and dextran glucose heptanoate.

용도Gleptoferron is a veterinary medicine. It is used in young piglets on farms which have been affected in the past by the parasitic infection coccidiosis to prevent diarrhoea caused by a new coccidiosis infection.It is also used to reduce spread of the infection through passage of oocysts in faeces, and at the same time to prevent iron deficiency anaemia due to the limited iron reserves of new-born piglets, low iron content of milk and high growth rate of suckling piglets.
