what drug is used for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia and dietary supplement for iron |
Ferrous Sulfate |
|
|
Ferrous Sulfate elevates the serum iron concentration and then converted into |
hemoglobin or stored conversion to a usable form of iron |
|
|
The iron preparations that are available include ferrous fumarate (Feostat), ferrous gluconate (Fergon), ferrous sulfate (Feosol), ferrous sulfate exsiccated (Feratab, Slow FE), ferumoxytol (Feraheme), iron dextran (InFeD), iron sucrose (Venofer), and sodium ferric gluconate complex (Ferrlecit). |
agents for iron deficiency anemia |
|
|
contraindications of iron deficiency agent are hemochromatosis (excessive iron), peptic ulcer, colitis and |
hemolytic anemias. |
|
|
adverse effect with iron can directly toxic to the CNA causing |
coma and even death |
|
|
if iron meds are taken with antacids, tetracyclines or cimetidine the iron absorption will |
decrease (spaced at least 2 hrs apart) |
|
|
iron meds take with antibiotic will have a anti-infective |
response (take at least 2 hrs apart) |
|
|
iron products are used to replace iron in cases of iron deficiency anemia, which can occur b/c of deficient iron |
intake or because of blood loss leading to lower iron levels |
|
|
what are agents used for megaloblastic anemias |
folic acid (Folvite) and Vitamin B12 (hydroxocalamin) hyro-crysti-12 |
|
|
folate deficiencies increased demand (preg or growth spurts), result of absorp in small intestine and malnutrition of |
alcoholism |
|
|
Vitamin 12 deficiencies results from poor diet or increased demand but normal lack of |
intrinsic factor in the stomach |
|
|
what agent is used for replacement therapy and tx of megaloblastic anemia |
folic acid (folvite) |
|
|
what agent is used for replacement therapy; tx of megaloblastic anemia and pernicious anemia |
hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12) (oral, IM and IV - 5 to 10days build up then once a mth for life) |
|
|
adverse effects for megaloblastic agent ( Vitamin B12) have been assoc w/ itiching, rash, signs excessive Vitamin b, pul edema, low potassium and also |
peripheral edema and heart failure and mild diarrhea |
