Ferrous Gluconate Syrup

Function and Efficacy

Iron is a component of hemoglobin in red blood cells. When iron is deficient, the amount of hemoglobin synthesized by red blood cells decreases, causing the red blood cells to become smaller and their oxygen-carrying capacity to decrease, resulting in iron-deficiency anemia. Oral administration of this product can supplement iron and correct iron-deficiency anemia.

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: The usual dosage for children is 30 mg/kg per day, divided into 4 oral doses. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: It is most appropriate to supplement iron during pregnancy in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, because iron intake decreases and the amount required increases. Some literature reports that miscarriage occurred in patients who used sorbitol iron in early pregnancy, so sorbitol iron injection should be prohibited before 3 to 4 months of pregnancy. Precautions for the elderly: Elderly patients take oral iron to treat iron deficiency anemia. If necessary, the dose can be appropriately increased because of reduced gastric juice secretion, lack of gastric acid, and reduced iron absorption from the intestinal mucosa.

Drug Interactions

1 Taking vitamin C with this product is beneficial for absorption. 2 Taking this product with phosphates, tetracyclines and tannic acid can hinder the absorption of iron. 3 This product can reduce the absorption of levodopa, carbidopa, methyldopa and quinolone drugs. 4 If used with other drugs at the same time, drug interactions may occur.
