Pharmacology
Each capsule contains Elemental iron 50 mg (As carbonyl iron INN) Folic acid BP 500 microgram Zinc sulphate monohydrate USP 61.80 mg (equivalent to 22.50 mg zinc)
Dosage Administration
This timed-release capsule is the combined preparation of Carbonyl Iron, Folic Acid and Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate. It contains Carbonyl Iron with not less than 98% Iron content. Carbinyl Iron, having high bioavailability and low toxicity is safer and more effective choice for iron supplementation.
Side Effects
Carbonyl Iron decreases the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, methyldopa and penecillamine. Folic Acid interacts with antiepileptics, so plasma concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone are possibly reduced.
Pregnancy And Lactation
It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its component or those with Iron overload.
Therapeutic
Special care should be taken in patients with Iron overload states, such as haemochromatosis, haemolytic anaemia or red blood cell aplasia. Failure to response to the treatment requires further investigations to exclude other causes of anaemia. In patients with renal failure there may be the risk of Zinc accumulation.
Storage Conditions
Symptoms of Carbonyl Iron include decreased energy, nausea, abdominal pain, tarry stool, weak, rapid pulse, fever, coma, seizures.
