Iranian scientists develop first injectable nano iron supplement to combat anaemia
New treatment offers rapid, low-risk therapy for iron deficiency anaemia, attracting global attention
Iranian scientists have produced the first generation of injectable nano iron supplements, a breakthrough drawing global attention. The new drug, ferric carboxymaltose, provides rapid and low-risk treatment for iron deficiency anaemia, according to Pars Today, a partner of TV BRICS.
A key advantage of the Iranian treatment is the ability to deliver a high dose of iron, up to 1,000 milligrams, in a single session without serious side effects. This reduces the need for repeated hospital visits and shortens the treatment period.
The supplement is also suitable for patients with kidney disease, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and pregnant women.
Building on Egypt’s achievement in developing innovative medical solutions, other BRICS and partner countries are also demonstrating significant progress in healthcare and pharmaceutical production.
Russia continues to strengthen its position in medical innovation and vaccine manufacturing with the launch of the country’s first full-cycle production line for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the Kirov region. The new facility, capable of producing up to three million doses annually by 2027, is expected to fully meet domestic demand and create potential for future export, as reported by the website of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
Kazakhstan’s experience also highlights effective approaches to public health: the country has become the first in Central Asia to achieve the World Health Organisation’s target of reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by 25 per cent by 2025. This is reported by Kazinform, a partner of TV BRICS.
Through the creation of a network of 85 stroke centres and the enhancement of emergency medical services, Kazakhstan has significantly improved treatment outcomes, setting an example of how technological advances contribute to sustainable development in medicine.
