Indications
This is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of Zinc, Iron, Folic Acid, and B[1] vitamin deficiency, especially during pregnancy and lactation.
Pharmacology
In this preparation, Iron is present as Iron Polymaltose Complex, a novel Iron preparation, which contains nonionic Ferric Iron and Polymaltose in a stable complex. This facilitates a controlled absorption of Iron when it comes in contact with the mucosal cell surface. Being non-ionic, Iron Polymaltose Complex is more stable than the conventional Iron form. Folic acid helps in the proper development of the baby. Zinc keeps enzymes working and helps metabolize proteins. Vitamins are essential for building up tissue and the release of energy from the breakdown of foods.
Dosage & Administration
One capsule daily. In more severe cases, 2 capsules a day may be required or as directed by the physician.
Interaction
As Iron Polymaltose is non-ionic in nature, no interaction has been found with other drugs or food. The zinc of this formulation may interfere with the absorption of fluoroquinolone antibiotics and Tetracycline. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors may cause Zinc depletion.
Contraindications
Disturbances in Iron utilization (lead anemia), thalassemia. Hypersensitivity or intolerance to Iron and overloading of Iron in the body. Hypersensitivity to any of the components of this formulation.
Side Effects
Generally well tolerated. Occasionally gastrointestinal irritations, such as the sensation of repletion, pressure in the epigastric region, nausea, itching, dizziness, constipation, or diarrhea can occur. A yellow-orange fluorescence or discoloration of the urine may occur.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Use in Pregnancy:
Use of any drug during the first trimester of pregnancy should be avoided if possible. Thus administration of Iron during the first trimester requires definite evidence of Iron deficiency. Prophylaxis of Iron deficiency where inadequate diet calls for supplementary Zinc and Folic Acid is justified during the remainder of the pregnancy.
Precautions & Warnings
As with all Iron preparations, dark coloration of the stool may occur. This is without clinical significance. Caution should be taken before concurrent administration of this formulation with fluoroquinolones and Tetracycline.
Storage Conditions
Store at a cool & dry place, protected from light & moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
