Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

About Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

Iron (II) salt of fumaric acid, Oral iron preparation, Antianemic,hematinic.

Mechanism of Action of Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

Ferrous fumarate is used as a source of iron for iron-deficiency anaemia. It is given by mouth in usual doses of up to 600 mg daily (equivalent to about 200 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.
Ferrous fumarate has similar efficacy as that of Ferrous sulphate.But it is more stable and almost tasteless as compared to Ferrous fumarate and it does not precipitate proteins and does not interfere with enzymes of digestive system.

Pharmacokinets of Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

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.

Typical Dosage for Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

Oral:
Adults: Starts with 50 to 100mg 2 to 3 times daily. Adjust the dosage based on patient`s response.
Children: 4 to 6mg/kg daily in three divided doses.

Schedule of Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

Storage Requirements for Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

Store in a well closed container in a cool dry place. Protect from light.

Effects of Missed Dosage of Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

Take the missed dose as soon as noticed and if it is the time for next dose then skip the missed dose. Continue the regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Effects of Overdose of Iron (Ferrous fumarate)

Treatment includes immediate support of airway, respiration, and circulation. 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.
