GLEPTOSIL

GLEPTOSIL produces the highest average blood iron levels following injection. TRUSTED INJECTABLE IRON

Iron is a constituent of the red pigments haemoglobin in blood and myoglobin in muscle.

Haemoglobin is responsible for the transfer of oxygen to all cells in the body and supporting cellular metabolism. Iron is a fundamental element for normal development of the immune system. Its deficiency affects the capacity to have an adequate immune response when challenged by disease. Piglets are born with limited iron reserves and require a readily available source of iron within the first 3 days of life.

Therefore iron is vital for the piglet, BUT importantly, not all injectable iron compositions are the same:

GLEPTOSIL contains GLEPTOFERRON



The absorption of gleptoferron is complete and almost immediate. Over 95% of the injected gleptoferron within GLEPTOSIL is taken up within 24 hours, ensuring very high utilisation of the dose by the piglet with no staining at the injection site.
