Shares of Rockwell Medical Inc (NASDAQ:RMTI), declined -5.23% to $11.06, during its last trading session.

Rockwell Medical, a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with innovative products and services for the treatment of iron replacement, secondary hyperparathyroidism and hemodialysis, declared recently the nationwide commercial availability of Triferic (ferric pyrophosphate citrate). Triferic is the only FDA approved iron product indicated to replace iron and maintain hemoglobin in hemodialysis patients in the United States.

Dr. Steven Fishbane, lead author and Chief, Division of Kidney Diseases and Hypertension, North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center, stated, “I’m very excited to be able to provide Triferic to my patients. Having iron delivered at every dialysis treatment that right away binds to transferrin and that does not induce iron overload is very similar to the slower, natural process in which iron is used in the body to maintain hemoglobin. We have seen the positive benefits Triferic has had on our patients during the clinical studies and now we are excited to have the drug available to treat patients beyond the research setting. Treating patients with a repletion therapy like IV iron has been associated with a variety of risks. Triferic, in contrast, is a true iron maintenance therapy with an exceptional safety profile and is an important new option for treating patients on chronic hemodialysis.”
