ferro sanol duodenal 100 mg, 100 pcs

What is ferro sanol duodenal?

Ferro sanol duodenal is an iron preparation that is used to treat iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia (anemia caused by iron deficiency).The enteric-coated pellets, which are packed in hard capsules, are characterized by their special tolerability and their high iron content.They are ideal for compensating for iron deficiency and relieving symptoms such as tiredness, dizziness or fatigue.

The ferro sanol duodenal hard capsules are also suitable for people with difficulty swallowing, as the capsule shell can be easily opened and the pellets can be taken with a spoon without the capsule.

What advantages does ferro sanol duodenal have?

In the past, taking iron often represented a challenge for the stomach. Ferro sanol duodenal comes into play here:

The iron is packed in small pellets and given an enteric coating.This is how they get to the duodenum - the optimal place for iron absorption.This can reduce irritation of the stomach lining.This ensures improved effectiveness and tolerability of ferro sanol duodenal.The hard capsule also ensures easy oral absorption of the preparation.Interactions between the iron and the chyme in the stomach are prevented by the enteric coating of the iron.

Application and dosage of ferro sanol duodenal hard capsules

Ferro sanol duodenal is taken orally in cases of iron deficiency or anemia caused by iron deficiency.After taking it, you should drink plenty of liquid.Vegans or those who have difficulty swallowing can take the pellets without a hard capsule (contains gelatin) with a spoon.The pellets should not be chewed.

Iron is an important substance for the body and organs because it is used by the body, among other things, to absorb oxygen.A severe iron deficiency can be associated with reduced performance and anemia and can cause a lack of oxygen.Iron deficiency does not have to have organic causes.Other factors such as increased iron requirements during pregnancy and breastfeeding can also cause deficiency symptoms.

Ferro sanol duodenal can be used to reduce the deficiency symptoms described.The medicine contains the iron necessary to make it easier for the body to absorb oxygen and can increase performance again.

Remember that anemia can also be caused by regular blood donation or by iron utilization disorders and other causes.Only a doctor can decide whether the preparation can be used effectively for the existing form of anemia or the symptoms present.

General dosage of ferro sanol duodenal hard capsules:

Adults and children from 6 years of age (body weight: from 20 kg) - 1 capsule once a day - in the morning, 2 hours before or after a meal

Dosage for severe deficiency symptoms:

Adults and adolescents aged 15 and over (body weight: 50 to 60 kg) - 1 capsule twice a day - morning and evening, 2 hours before or after a meal

Adults and young people aged 15 and over (body weight: from 60 kg) - 1 capsule 2 to 3 times a day - in the morning and evening and, if necessary, at lunchtime, 2 hours before or after the meal

The dose to be taken should be discussed with a doctor before taking and the total dose should not be exceeded.In addition to water, juices with a high content of vitamin C are particularly suitable as liquids, as this promotes iron absorption.

After taking ferro sanol duodenal you should not drink coffee, black tea or milk.These foods inhibit iron absorption.The time at which you take the medicine is also crucial for optimal effect.Therefore, take the iron supplement as recommended.

During the course of iron therapy, dark discoloration of the stool may occur.This is due to the iron content and is harmless.

When you should not use ferro sanol duodenal

If you are allergic to the active ingredient iron(II) glycine sulfate complex, we advise against taking it.You must also not take ferro sanol duodenal hard capsules if you have iron utilization disorders (sideroachrestic anemia, lead anemia), as well as hemochromatosis, thalassemia or hemolysis with iron overload.Further information can be found in the package insert.If you have any questions about risks and side effects, please ask your doctor or our pharmacist.

What ingredients does ferro sanol duodenal have?

A ferro sanol duodenal hard capsule with gastro-resistant coated pellets contains the component iron (II) glycine sulfate complex. This corresponds to 100 mg of iron-II-ion.

Other excipients and components of ferro sanol duodenal are: methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer (1:1), microcrystalline cellulose, ascorbic acid, talc, triethyl-2-acetoxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate, hyprolose, hypromellose, polysorbate 80, sodium dodecyl sulfate, capsule shell: gelatin, titanium dioxide, iron (III) oxide,Iron(III) oxide hydrate (black), iron(II,III) oxide

Mode of action

The contents of one capsule ferro sanol duodenal release the iron contained in 300-400 small beads in the 12-finger intestine.Iron is an essential component for cell function, as iron-dependent enzymes are involved in all important metabolic steps.In addition, an iron deficiency can lead to an insufficient oxygen supply to the body, as red blood cells, which bind around 70% of the iron in the body, are responsible for transporting oxygen.If there is a deficiency of these red blood cells, states of exhaustion, lack of concentration, and nail and hair breakage can occur.

Contraindications

If you are hypersensitive (allergic) to any of the ingredients contained in ferro sanol duodenal, you must not use ferro sanol duodenal.If you have iron overload (hemochromatosis, chronic hemolysis) or iron utilization disorders, you should not take the product.Children under 6 years of age should not use ferro sanol duodenal.

Intake

Take the medicine whole with enough water (preferably 1 glass).It should be taken either in the morning on an empty stomach (approx. 1 hour before breakfast) or at a sufficient interval of around 2 hours before or after a meal.

If there are problems swallowing or you do not want to swallow the capsule, the contents of the capsule can also be taken without the capsule shell.To do this, carefully pull the capsule shells apart over a spoon with both hands and collect the capsule contents in the spoon.After taking the capsule contents, you should drink enough water.

Patient information

Particular caution is required when taking the drug if you suffer from existing diseases of the digestive tract such as chronic inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal narrowing, protrusions of the intestine (diverticula), inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis), stomach and intestinal ulcers.

If you have chronic kidney disease and require erythropoietin, then you should be given iron intravenously because orally administered iron is poorly absorbed in uremic individuals.

In older people with initially unexplained iron deficiency or anemia, the cause of the iron deficiency or the source of bleeding must be carefully investigated.

In children, overdose should be avoided as this can lead to poisoning.

Discoloration of the teeth may occur during treatment with the medicine.According to the scientific literature, these tooth discolorations may resolve spontaneously after discontinuation of the drug or may need to be removed by using an abrasive toothpaste or by professional teeth cleaning.

No special precautions are required.

Pregnancy

Since there is an increased need for iron in the body during pregnancy and breastfeeding, particular care should be taken during this period to ensure that the medicine is taken regularly in the dosage specified by the doctor.
