About Iron (Ferric ammonium citrate)An iron-containing salt,oral iron preparation, Antianemic,hematinic.Mechanism of Action of Iron (Ferric ammonium citrate)Ferric Ammonium Citrate contains between 16.5% and 18.5% of iron. It exerts haematinic action by being an essential constituent of haemoglobin. It is necessary for the oxidative process of living tissues. Ferric ammonium citrate is given by mouth as a source of iron for iron-deficiency anaemia.Ferric salts have not been preferred over ferrous salts as the ferric ion first requires reduction to ferrous form in the intestinal lumen. The bio-availability of iron from ferric salts is 3 to 4 times less than that of ferrous form.Ferric ammonium citrate (18% elemental iron) is the most commonly used ferric salts.Pharmacokinets of Iron (Ferric ammonium citrate)Absorption: Ferric is converted into Ferrous form and it is absorbed in ferrous form. It is 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 (Ferric ammonium citrate)N/ADuration of Action for Iron (Ferric ammonium citrate)N/AHalf Life of Iron (Ferric ammonium citrate)N/ASide Effects of Iron (Ferric ammonium citrate)1.Nausea

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. Iron (Liver extract)

About Folic AcidDietary supplement, Folate derivative( B9 ), Water Soluble Vitamin.Mechanism of Action of Folic AcidFolic acid reduced by enzymes folate reductase and dihydrofolate reductase and forms dihydrofolic acid tetrahydrofolic acid respectively. Tetrahydrofolic acid acts as a coenzyme which mediates a number of one carbon transfer reactions by carrying a methyl group as an adduct. It involves a number of reactions such as 1).conversion of homocysteine to methionine. 2).synthesis of thymidylate which is an essential constituent of DNA from methylene-tetrahydrofolic acid. 3). Conversion of serine to glycine by tetrahydrofolic acid and forms methylene-tetrahydrofolic acid. 4).to introduce carbon units at position 2 and 8 during de novo purine synthesis requires formyl-tetrahydrofolic acid and methenyl-tetrahydrofolic acid.5).generation and utilization of "formate pool". 6).For mediating formino group transfer in histidine metabolism. Folic acid is required to maintain normal erythropoiesis and nucleoprotein synthesis.Pharmacokinets of Folic AcidAbsorption: Well absorbed orally
Distribution: Widely distributed in the body and highest concentration is seen in liver. It appears in the CSF and breast milk
Metabolism: Metabolized in to N-methyl tetrahydrofolic acid in liver
Excretion: Extra drug is excreted unchanged in urine. A small portion of folate is lost by a combination of urinary and fecal excretion and oxidative cleavage of molecule.

About ProteinNutrient.Mechanism of Action of ProteinProtein is an essential nutrient for cell maintenance and repair, and regulation of a wide range of bodily functions. Our digestive system breaks down protein to its amino acid constituents. They`re involved in the nervous system, repairing and maintaining tissue such as bones and skin, and bringing energy to cells. Protein is the building block of all life and is essential for the growth of cells and tissue repair. Protein is made up of amino acids.There are 22 amino acids, divided into essential and non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids must appear in our diet because they cannot be made by the body. The 8 essential amino acids we must eat in our diet include: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.Pharmacokinets of ProteinN/AOnset of Action for ProteinN/ADuration of Action for ProteinN/AHalf Life of ProteinN/ASide Effects of ProteinN/AContra-indications of ProteinN/ASpecial Precautions while taking ProteinN/APregnancy Related InformationN/AOld Age Related InformationN/ABreast Feeding Related InformationN/AChildren Related InformationN/AIndications for ProteinN/AInteractions for ProteinN/ATypical Dosage for ProteinN/ASchedule of ProteinN/AStorage Requirements for ProteinN/AEffects of Missed Dosage of ProteinN/AEffects of Overdose of ProteinN/AHome Delivery for Iron (Ferric ammonium citrate) + Iron (Liver extract) + Folic acid + Protein in Your City
