Composition of the preparation.
Ferretab Comp - a combined anti-anemic drug, the effect of which is due to the properties of the components that make up its composition.
Iron fumarate is the salt of iron, a microelement necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin. When iron is used in the form of salts, its deficiency in the body is rapidly replenished, which leads to a gradual regression of clinical (weakness, fatigue, dizziness, tachycardia, tenderness and dry skin) and laboratory symptoms of anemia.
Folic acid is necessary for the normal maturation of megaloblasts and the formation of normoblasts. Stimulates erythropoiesis, participates in the synthesis of amino acids, nucleic acids, purines and pyrimidines, in the exchange of choline. When pregnancy protects the body from the effects of teratogenic factors.
Ferretab comp. helps maintain and restore normal levels of iron in the blood. Prevents anemia (including pregnancy), miscarriage, premature birth and mental disability,which can be observed with a deficiency of iron and folic acid in the body. The amount of assimilated iron varies between 5% and 35%.
In the serum, iron binds to transferrin and is involved in the formation of hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome oxidase, catalase and peroxidase or is deposited in body tissues in the form of ferritin.
Composition
Iron fumarate + Folic acid (vitamin Bc) + auxiliary substances.
Pharmacokinetics
Folic acid is absorbed mainly from the upper parts of the digestive tract (duodenum); the binding to plasma proteins is 64%. Excretion of iron occurs with feces, urine and sweat. Folic acid is metabolized in the liver and is secreted mainly by the kidneys, and also partially with feces.

- during pregnancy;
- due to a violation of absorption of iron from the digestive tract;
