ferrous chloride

Development stage: Approved
Modality: Small Molecules
Administration: Intravenous

Overview

Ferrous chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula FeCl2. It appears as a greenish-white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water[2][7]. In medicine, it has been used as an iron supplement, particularly indicated in parenteral nutrition to treat or prevent iron deficiency[1]. Its mechanism of action involves providing bioavailable iron for incorporation into hemoglobin and other essential proteins. Beyond medical use, ferrous chloride is widely utilized in industrial applications such as water treatment (as a coagulant), textile dyeing, pigment manufacturing, organic synthesis (as a catalyst), and as a corrosion inhibitor in the oil and gas industry[6].
