Velphoro (sucroferric oxyhydroxide) is a hematological drug used to treat iron deficiency anemia in adults and children. It is a phosphate binder, meaning it binds to dietary phosphate in the intestine and prevents it from being absorbed into the body. This helps to reduce the amount of iron in the blood, which can help to improve anemia symptoms. Velphoro is available in both tablet and oral suspension forms. Velphoro is manufactured by Vifor Pharma, a Swiss pharmaceutical company. It is approved for use in the United States, Canada, and Europe. In the United States, Velphoro is marketed by Fresenius Medical Care, a German healthcare company. Other companies involved in the Velphoro market include Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, and Daiichi Sankyo, a Japanese pharmaceutical company. Show Less Read more
