Abstract: In a process for producing an iron-dextran compound for use in parenteral treatment of iron-deficiency in humans or animals a stable compound of desired relatively low molecular weight is obtained by using first hydrogenation and then oxidation to convert reducing terminal groups on the dextran molecules before reaction with the iron. By varying the ratio of hydrogenated groups to oxygenated groups the average molecular weight of the resulting iron-dextran compound can be varied.
