The aim of this pharmacokinetic study is to assess the bioequivalence of the generic Ferrinemia® Iron Sucrose injection solution 20 mg/mL manufactured by Help S.A., Greece (test product), to Venofer® Iron Sucrose injection solution 20 mg/mL manufactured by Vifor AG, Switzerland (reference product). Both formulations contain iron as an active ingredient. Intravenous iron sucrose is primarily indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients.

Test product Ferrinemia will be administered intravenously via a 18 gauge (18G) needle. For intravenous injection, a 5 mL single dose of test product (each mL containing 20 mg/mL elemental iron as iron sucrose in water for injection) will be diluted in 0.9% isotonic sterile sodium chloride (NaCl) up to 15 mL. The injection solution will be intravenously administered to the forearm vein, resulting in a total injection volume of 15 mL administered over a period of 5 minutes.
Reference product Venofer will be administered intravenously via a 18 gauge (18G) needle.
