CSL Vifor’s innovative nanoparticle technology was applied in a real-world clinical setting to improve treatment outcomes for patients with iron deficiency. For example the clinical profile of ferric carboxymaltose has been further confirmed through its use in over 33 million patient-years since its market introduction.* By harnessing the targeted power of nanomedicine, this approach delivered iron exactly where it was needed. The results speak to the promise of precision medicine in everyday care.

Nanoparticles may be small, but their impact on medicine is anything but. These tiny, engineered materials – often thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair – are changing how we deliver therapies, especially in complex conditions like iron deficiency. This piece breaks down what nanoparticles are, how they work, and why they represent a smarter, more targeted future for healthcare.
Learn how nanoparticles are more effective in targetted therapies, including how they’re clever, complex and consistent.
Ferinject® is an intravenous (IV) iron preparation for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia when oral iron is ineffective or there is a clinical need for rapid iron replacement. (Also marketed as Injectafer® in the USA). Showed presentations can differ from country to country.
Approved in 87 countries.
Venofer® (iron sucrose [ferric hydroxide sucrose complex]) is a low-dose iron sucrose product for the intravenous (IV) treatment of iron deficiency. It is administered when oral iron supplements are ineffective or cannot be taken, for example, in anemia patients requiring dialysis. Showed presentations can differ from country to country.
Approved in 85 countries.
Maltofer® is an orally administered iron polymaltose complex (IPC) approved in 82 countries as an oral iron therapy for infants, children, adolescents, and pregnant women with iron deficiency. Showed presentations can differ from country to country.
Approved in 82 countries.
