Ferrogradumet (Ferrograd): a drug to combat iron deficiency anemia
Ferrogradumet (also known as Ferrograd) is a pharmaceutical product developed in the UK that contains the active substance ferrous sulfate. It belongs to the pharmaceutical group of drugs containing iron. The drug is available in the form of film tablets with a dosage of 325 mg.
Ferrogradum is widely used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia, as well as for chronic posthemorrhagic anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which there is a lack of iron in the body, which leads to a decrease in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood. Ferrogradum compensates for this deficiency by providing the body with the necessary amount of iron necessary for the normal functioning of the hematopoietic system.
Although Ferrogradum is an effective drug, you should pay attention to a number of contraindications and side effects. The use of the drug is not recommended for hematochromatosis, aplastic and hemolytic anemia, leukemia, as well as chronic liver and kidney diseases. Particular caution should be exercised when using Ferrogradumet for gastric and duodenal ulcers, enteritis and ulcerative colitis.
Possible side effects associated with the use of Ferrogradumet may include constipation, brownish-black discoloration of excrement, and darkening of the teeth. It should also be noted that Ferrogradumet interacts with some other medications. It may reduce the activity of tetracyclines and D-penicillamine. Antacids used to reduce gastric acidity may reduce iron resorption, while ascorbic acid may increase iron resorption.
In case of an overdose of Ferrogradute, various symptoms may occur, including stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, black stools, lethargy, weakness, pallor, slow or rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, seizures, and even coma. If such symptoms occur, you should immediately seek medical help and call an ambulance.
