<span class="page-intro">AMAG Pharmaceuticals is committed to improving the health outcomes of patients through the development and commercialization of specialty pharmaceutical products.</span>
<p>AMAG currently markets a therapeutic intravenous iron compound for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and an oral rinse for the management of oral mucositis in the United States. To learn more about our products, <a href="../products/index.html">click here</a>. Along with driving organic growth of its lead product, AMAG intends to expand its portfolio with additional commercial-stage specialty pharmaceuticals. The company is seeking complementary products that leverage the company's commercial footprint and focus on hematology and oncology centers and hospital infusion centers.
</p><p>
Our iron oxide particles are composed of bioavailable iron that is easily absorbed by the body and incorporated into the body's iron stores. As a result, products using our core technology are well suited for use in intravenous iron replacement therapy. </p>
<h2>Iron - A Critical Element in the Body</h2>
<p>Iron is critical to a number of processes in the human body and is a key component of the hemoglobin molecule where it serves a vital role in oxygen transport from the lungs to tissues. Low levels of iron in the body is known as iron deficiency and can result in anemia and inadequate oxygen delivery to different organs. Iron deficiency anemia can result when there is an inadequate amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia is associated with a number of symptoms including fatigue, lethargy, poor concentration, shortness of breath, palpitations, and dizziness. Low levels of red blood cells can occur because of iron deficiency anemia, blood loss, and/or decreased production of the hormone erythropoietin. Intravenous iron replacement therapy plays a major role, along with erythropoietic stimulating agents, in treating certain types of chronic anemia in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. Iron deficiency anemia is also common in patients with other conditions and diseases such as abnormal uterine bleeding, cancer and gastrointestinal diseases.</p>
