Iron (Ferrous gluconate)

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.

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.
