WHAT FERRUS FILM COATED
IS
USED FOR
FERRUS FILM COATED is used in
the
prevention
and
treatment
of
iron
deficiency
anaemia
(insufficient iron),
which may result from inadequate diet,
malabsorption, pregnancy, rapid growth
during childhood, and/or blood loss.
HOW FERRUS FILM COATED
WORKS
Ferrous fumarate is an essential body
mineral. It works by providing iron to
the body.
BEFORE YOU USE FERRUS FILM
COATED
-
_When you must not use it _
_ _
•
If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to
ferrous fumarate or any of the other
ingredients of this medicine.
•
If you have received repeated blood
transfusions
or
to
patients
with
anaemia.
•
If you are patients with iron-storage
or
iron-absorption
disease
such
as
haemochromatosis
(accumulation
of
iron), haemoglobinopathies (abnormal
structure
of haemoglobin
molecule),
or
existing
gastrointestinal
disease
such as inflammatory bowel disease,
intestinal strictures and diverticulae.
_Pregnancy and lactation _
In
the
first
trimester
of
pregnancy,
adequate iron intake is usually obtained
from
a
proper
diet;
however,
in
the
second and third trimesters, when iron
deficiency is more prevalent because of
greatly
increased
requirements,
iron
supplements may be recommended.
Lactation
Problems
in
humans
have
not
been
documented with intake of normal daily
recommended amounts.
Ask
your
doctor
or
pharmacist
for
advice before taking any medicine.

FERRUS FILM-COATED TABLET 200MG
Page 1 of 2
[REVISION DATE: 08.08.2021]
DESCRIPTION: A brown 7mm round, biconvex, plain on both sides,
film-coated tablet
COMPOSITION: Each tablet contains of 200mg of Ferrous Fumarate.
PHARMACODYNAMICS: Iron is an essential component in the physiological
formation of haemoglobin, adequate amounts of which are necessary for
effective erythropoiesis and
the resultant oxygen transport capacity of the blood. A similar
function is provided by iron in Myoglobin producti
on. Iron also serves as a co-factor of several essential enzymes.
Orally
taken iron, in the form of ferrous, passes through the mucosal cells
as is bound with a protein called transferrin. In this form, iron is
transported in the body to bone marrow for red
blood cell production. Hence, Ferrous fumarate is an i
ron preparation that is used in the prevention and treatment of iron
deficiency. A lack of iron a
ffects the development of the red
blood cells and causes reduction in the number of red blood cells
found in the body (iron deficiency anaemia).
PHARMACOKINETICS:
ABSORPTION
Iron is irregularly and incompletely absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract, the main sites of absorption being the duodenu
m and jejunum. Absorption is aided by acid secretion
of the stomach and by some dietary acids (such as ascorbic acid) and
is more readily affected
when the iron is in the ferrous state or is part of the haem complex
(haem -iron).
Absorption is also increased in the conditions of iron deficiency or
in the in the fasti
ng state but is decreased if the body stores are overloaded. Normally
only about 5 to 15% of
the iron ingested in food is absorbed.
DISTRIBUTION
Most absorbed iron is bound to transferrin and transported to the bone
marrow where it is incorporated into haemoglobin; the remainder is
contai
ned within the storage forms,
ferritin or haemosiderin, or as myoglobin, with smaller amounts
occurring in haemo-containing enzymes or in plasma bound to
transferrin.
