About Iron (Ferrous sulphate)Oral iron preparation, Antianemic,hematinic.Mechanism of Action of Iron (Ferrous sulphate)Ferrous sulfate is used as a source of iron for iron-deficiency anaemia. It is given by mouth; the dried form is often used in solid dosage forms and the heptahydrate in liquid dosage forms. Usual doses of dried ferrous sulfate are up to 600 mg daily (equivalent to 180 to 195 mg of iron daily,).
Ferrous sulfate oxidised with nitric and sulfuric acids yields ferric subsulfate solution, also known as Monsel`s solution, which has been used as a haemostatic. It exerts haematinic action by being an essential constituent of haemoglobin. It is necessary for the oxidative process of living tissues.
Pharmacokinets of Iron (Ferrous sulphate)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.Onset of Action for Iron (Ferrous sulphate)N/ADuration of Action for Iron (Ferrous sulphate)N/AHalf Life of Iron (Ferrous sulphate)N/ASide Effects of Iron (Ferrous sulphate)1.Nausea
