It is necessary for the oxidative process of living tissues.
Pharmacokinets of Iron (Carbonyl Iron)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.

Interactions for Iron (Carbonyl Iron)(Oral Iron): Antacids: GI absorption of iron reduced.
Ascorbic acid: GI absorption of iron enhanced.
Chloramphenicol: Serum iron levels may be increased.
Cimetidine: GI absorption may be reduced.
Levodopa: Decreased levodopa serum levels.
Methyldopa: May result in decreased efficacy of methyldopa.
Quinolones: GI absorption of quinolones decreased.
Penicillamine: Marked reduction in GI absorption of penicillamine.

In conscious patients induce emesis with ipecac; if not empty stomach by gastric lavage. Follow emesis with lavage, using a 1% sodium bicarbonate solution to convert iron to less irritating poorly absorbed form. Take abdominal X-ray to determine presence of excess iron. Deferoxamine may be used for systemic chelation if serum levels of iron exceed 350mg/dl. Multivitamins
