Cholbam and Ferric carboxymaltose

• Generic Name: cholic acid

Cholbam is a bile acid. Bile acids are produced naturally in the body to aid in digestion of fats and certain nutrients.

People with bile acid disorders are unable to produce Cholbam normally. This can make it harder for the body to absorb nutrients important for health, growth, and body functioning. Abnormal bile acids can also build up in the body and become toxic to the liver.

Cholbam is used in people with bile acid disorders. Cholbam works by normalizing bile acid production in the body.

Ferric carboxymaltose is an iron replacement product. You normally get iron from the foods you eat. Iron helps your body produce red blood cells that carry oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs.

Ferric carboxymaltose is used in adults to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by having too little iron in the body). Ferric carboxymaltose is usually given when iron taken orally (by mouth) is not effective.
