The Velphoro drug substance is a mixture of polynuclear iron(III)-oxyhydroxide, sucrose, and starches. The active moiety of Velphoro, polynuclear iron(III)-oxyhydroxide, is practically insoluble and cannot be absorbed. Velphoro chewable tablets for oral use are brown, circular, bi-planar, and are embossed with “PA 500” on 1 side. Each tablet of Velphoro contains 500 mg iron (in 2,500 mg sucroferric oxyhydroxide). One tablet is equivalent to approximately 1.4 g of carbohydrates (750 mg sucrose and 700 mg starches as potato starch and pregelatinized maize starch). The inactive ingredients are berry flavor, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, magnesium stearate, and silica (colloidal, anhydrous).
