Composition of the preparation.

FerroFolgamma - A combined anti-anemic drug containing ferrous iron in the form of a simple ferric sulfate salt, vitamin B12, folic acid and ascorbic acid.

Iron is an important part of the human body. It is part of hemoglobin, myoglobin and various other enzymes.

Ascorbic acid improves the absorption of iron in the intestine.

Vitamin B12 and folic acid are involved in the formation and maturation of red blood cells.

Active components of the preparation Ferrofolgamma are in a special neutral shell, which ensures their absorption, mainly in the upper part of the small intestine. The absence of a local irritant effect on the gastric mucosa contributes to the good tolerability of the drug.

Composition

Iron sulfate + Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) + Folic acid (vitamin Bc) + Ascorbic acid + auxiliary substances.

Drug Interactions

Organic acids, calcium, phosphorus, phytin, colestyramine, antacids containing aluminum, magnesium, calcium, disrupt iron absorption due to the formation of insoluble complexes.

Preparations of pancreatic enzymes can reduce iron absorption.

With the simultaneous use of the preparation FerroFolgamma with phenobarbital, carbamazepine, sodium valproate, sulfasalazine, hormonal contraceptives, folic acid antagonists, trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, triamterene, absorption of folic acid decreases.

Iron salts disrupt absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of antibiotics of the Tetracycline group.

Solid food, bread, raw cereals, dairy products, eggs reduce the absorption of iron when used during treatment with antibiotics of the tetracycline group, as well as penicillamine, because complex compounds are formed that reduce the absorption of iron and reduce the antimicrobial activity of antibiotics.
