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

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. Vitamin B-Complex
