Utilization and Toxicity of Peptonized Iron and Ferrous Sulfate

JACK H. KEITH M.S.1

1 From the Research Division, S. E. Massengill Company, Bristol, Tennessee

Peptonized iron is effectively utilized as a hematinic in rats.

The oral LD50 for peptonized iron is one third that of ferrous sulfate in rats and rabbits. This same ratio is seen in the emetic response of dogs to peptonized iron and ferrous sulfate.

More than five times as much peptonized iron, injected intradermally, was required to produce local irritation as compared to ferrous sulfate.
