FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX
FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX: FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX is an iron supplement used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It is a complex of iron and a carbohydrate polymer known as polymaltose. This drug works by supplying the body with iron, which is necessary for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
The recommended dose of FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX depends on the severity of the iron deficiency and the patient’s age. Typically, it is administered intravenously over several minutes or as directed by a healthcare professional. The dose may be adjusted based on the patient’s response to treatment.
Common side effects of FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX can include gastrointestinal issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and nausea. Other possible side effects may include headache, dizziness, flushing, and injection site reactions.
It is important not to exceed the recommended dose of FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX as it can lead to iron overload, which can be harmful. Additionally, this medication should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to iron or a history of iron overload conditions such as hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis.
FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and inform the doctor of any other medications or supplements being taken, as they may interact with FE 3 HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE COMPLEX. Regular monitoring of iron levels and blood parameters is often recommended during treatment.
