DESCRIPTION:
A balanced combination of well-known ingredients i.e. Ferric Ammonium Citrate which is a complex salt of Iron, Ammonia and Citric acid and is one of the best-tolerated iron supplements; Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 that have an important role in the production of RBC’s and the important hematinic factor Folic Acid that is vital for DNA synthesis.
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Ferric Ammonium Citrate provides an optimum tolerance of the iron preparation, which is of utmost importance in maintaining long term patient compliance to any hematinic therapy. It rapidly supplements elemental iron so that iron deficiency is quickly controlled, thus leading to faster correction of anaemia and replenishment of tissue iron stores. Folic acid itself is biochemically inactive, is converted to tetrahydrofolic acid and methyltetrahydrofolate by dihydrofolate reductase in the liver.
INDICATIONS:
Iron deficiency anaemia, pregnancy anaemia, lactation, loss of appetite, general weakness and convalescence.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Peptic ulcer, regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, hemosiderosis and hemolytic anaemia and all anaemias other than iron deficiency.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Nausea, regurgitation, constipation, pyrosis (burning sensation in the chest), an upset stomach may occur with the use of hematinics.
Iron may cause your stools to turn black, an effect that is not harmful. GI effects can be reduced by taking it with food.
PRECAUTIONS:
Oral iron may aggravate existing peptic ulcers, regional enteritis and ulcerative colitis.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Iron compounds taken orally can impair the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. Antacids given concomitantly with iron compounds decrease iron absorption.
DOSAGE:
As prescribed by the physician
STORAGE:
Store in a cool and dark place, Protect from direct sunlight.
