Ferlatum during pregnancy
As a rule, iron supplements are often prescribed to pregnant women. Ferlatum Fol is usually used, since with the help of this remedy it is possible to compensate for the deficiency of iron and B vitamins, known as folates, which are involved in the production of red blood cells. A similar state of the body can be observed in young mothers.
In the majority, reviews during pregnancy are positive. The drug is characterized as quite effective and fast-acting, fully restoring hemoglobin . Moreover, the body absorbs this product better than other iron-containing products .
Contraindications for use
It is not recommended to take any iron supplement if:
- hypersensitivity;
- hemosiderosis;
- anemia caused by impaired iron utilization, for example, lead and sideroblastic, as well as non-iron deficiency - hemolytic and B12 deficiency;
- chronic pancreatitis;
- liver cirrhosis.
Overdose
Ferlatum Fol is well tolerated by patients and its use does not lead to overdose.
Cases of Ferlatum overdose are characterized by the development of epigastric pain , nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, pallor, shock and coma.
In this case, treatment is carried out using emetics, gastric lavage, and adequate supportive therapy.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The drug Ferlatum Fol includes iron and calcium folinate . Therefore, when taking it, the lack of iron and folate in the human body is compensated.
The main function of iron in these preparations is to transport oxygen to tissues. This component is one of the components of hemoglobin, myoglobin and iron-containing enzymes-cytochromes . It also carries out electron transfer and functions as a catalyst for oxidation reactions, hydroxylation and other metabolic processes.
The active component, iron-protein succinylate , is a complex compound in which ferric iron atoms surround semi-synthetic protein carriers, which helps prevent damage to the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. The protein carrier can dissolve in the duodenum, optimally releasing iron.
The entry of ferric iron into the blood from the gastrointestinal tract occurs through active absorption, preventing the possibility of overdose or poisoning.
Reviews about Ferlatum
It should be noted that iron-containing preparations are especially often discussed by parents of young children and women during pregnancy . This is not surprising, since it is during these periods that the body requires additional components and blood composition indicators are regularly monitored. Moreover, almost everyone who has used this drug leaves positive reviews about Ferlatum Fol. With its help, it is possible to quickly and reliably increase hemoglobin and normalize the general condition of the body.
Numerous reviews of pregnant women about Ferlatum report that this is one of the most effective remedies and put it in first place among similar drugs.
However, some women note that taking such drugs, on the contrary, worsens their well-being. This was manifested by the development of general ailments - fatigue, drowsiness, and external disorders - redness around the eyes, dulling of the complexion.
In any case, problems such as iron deficiency in the body or the development of suspected side effects should be addressed with your doctor. Timely prescribing or discontinuation of therapy will allow you to avoid complications and properly maintain your health.
