About Iron (Ferrous gluconate)Oral iron preparation, iron(II) salt of gluconic acid, Antianemic,hematinic.Mechanism of Action of Iron (Ferrous gluconate)Ferrous gluconate is used as a source of iron for iron-deficiency anaemia. It is given by mouth in doses of up to 1.8 g daily (equivalent to up to 210 mg of iron daily). Iron formulations exert haematinic action by being an essential constituent of haemoglobin. It is necessary for the oxidative process of living tissues.Pharmacokinets of Iron (Ferrous gluconate)Absorption: Absorbed orally in ferrous form and poorly absorbed in healthy individuals (about 10%) but in patients suffering from iron deficiency anaemia up to 60% dose is absorbed. Distribution: Transported in a transferrin bound form in to bone marrow for incorporation in to haemoglobin. Metabolism: Iron liberated by destruction of haemoglobin is reused by the body. Excretion: Excretion of iron is minimal. Loss usually occurs in nails, faeces, urine, hair, sweat, and bile.Onset of Action for Iron (Ferrous gluconate)N/ADuration of Action for Iron (Ferrous gluconate)N/AHalf Life of Iron (Ferrous gluconate)N/ASide Effects of Iron (Ferrous gluconate)1.Nausea
