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.

3.Vomiting
4.Constipation
5.Diarrhoea
6.Black stools
7.Temporary staining of teeth with liquid formulations

Contra-indications of Iron (Ferrous gluconate)

1.Haemolytic anaemia unless iron deficiency anaemia is also present
2.Haemochromatosis
3.Haemosiderosis
4.Peptic ulcer
5.Regional enteritis
6.Ulcerative colitis
7.Those receiving repeated blood transfusions.

Interactions for Iron (Ferrous gluconate)

N/A

Typical Dosage for Iron (Ferrous gluconate)

Oral:
Ferrous gluconate:
300 to 1200mg daily in three to four divided doses.
Children (age 2 to 12): 3mg/kg/day in three to four divided doses
Children (age 6months to 2years): 3 to 6mg/kg/day in three to four divided doses
Infants: 10 to 25mg/day in three to four divided doses.

Schedule of Iron (Ferrous gluconate)

Storage Requirements for Iron (Ferrous gluconate)

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

Effects of Missed Dosage of Iron (Ferrous gluconate)

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 gluconate)

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.

Amino acids

About Amino acids

An amino acid is any molecule that contains both amine and carboxyl functional groups. These amino acids are the basic components of proteins. There are twenty standard amino acids used by cells in protein biosynthesis that are specified by the general genetic code.
Amino acids are joined to each other by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules (carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule), releasing a molecule of water (H2O). The resulting CO-NH bond is called a peptide bond, the chemical bond that links the amino acid monomers in a protein chain. Each protein has its own unique amino acid sequence that is known as its primary structure. Amino acids can be linked together in varying sequences to form a huge variety of proteins. The unique shape of each protein determines its function in the body.
Aminoacids are of 2 types, essential and nonessential. Essential amino acids are the ones that must be obtained in the diet and non-essential are synthesized within the body
Essential aminoacids: Methionine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Histidine,
Nonessential aminoacids: Alanine, Asparagine, Aspartic acids, Proline, Glutamic acid, Glutamine, Serine
Amino acids Arginine, Cysteine, Glycine and Tyrosine are considered conditionally essential, meaning they are not normally required in the diet, but must be supplied exogenously to specific populations that do not synthesize it in adequate amounts
Histidine and Arginine are generally only considered essential in children, because the metabolic pathways that synthesize these amino acids are not fully developed in children.
Nutritional role of aminoacids: Aminoacids have been used orally or in relatively dilute solutions intravenously as supplementary nutrients for patients unable to metabolize intact protein adequately. For patients in whom oral or tube feeding is contraindicated or Inadequate good nutrition may be achieved or maintained by intravenous feeding known as total parenteral nutrition or intravenous or parenteral hyperalimentation. Such feeding provides essential nutrients in a sufficiently concentrated form that does not exceed normal daily fluid requirements.
