Железо всасывается в кишечнике, постепенно высвобождаясь из капсул. У здоровых людей всасывается около 10–15% принятой внутрь дозы. При дефиците железа всасывание увеличивается до 25–30%. Из организма выводится в минимальных количествах почками, а также с калом и желчью. В период лактации в материнское молоко поступает около 0,25 мг/сут.

Антациды, тетрациклин и его производные, яйца, молоко, кофе, чай снижают абсорбцию железа из ЖКТ. Железо задерживает абсорбцию из ЖКТ тетрациклина, пеницилламина, некоторых хинолонов (например ципрофлоксацина, норфлоксацина, офлоксацина). Одновременная терапия хлорамфениколом замедляет развитие гематологического ответа на терапию препаратами железа.
Всасывание снижают тетрациклин и антациды (интервалы между приемом должны быть не менее 2–3 ч). Эффект замедляет хлорамфеникол.

Prolonged or excessive use in children without medical supervision may lead to toxic accumulation.
Some post-gastrectomy patients have poor absorption of iron.
Caution is advised when prescribing iron preparations to individuals with a history of peptic ulcers.
Duration of treatment should generally not exceed 3 months after correction of the anaemia has been achieved. Patients with microcytic anaemia resistant to therapy with iron alone should be screened for vitamin B12 or foliate deficiency, since anaemia due to combined deficiencies may be microcytic in type.

All those who have recently ingested more than 20mg/kg should be referred to hospital.
In the first phase of acute iron overdosage, which occurs up to 6 hours after oral ingestion, gastrointestinal toxicity, notably nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea, predominates. Haematemesis and rectal bleeding may also occur. Other effects may include cardiovascular disorders, such as hypotension and tachycardia, metabolic changes, including acidosis and hyperglycaemia, and CNS depression ranging from lethargy to coma. Patients with only mild to moderate poisoning do not generally progress past this phase.
The second phase may occur at 6 to 24 hours after ingestion and is characterised by a temporary remission or clinical stabilisation.
In the third phase, which occurs between 12 and 48 hours after ingestion, gastrointestinal toxicity recurs together with shock, metabolic acidosis, convulsions, coma, hepatic necrosis and jaundice, hypoglycaemia, coagulation disorders, oliguria or renal failure, and pulmonary oedema. Patients may also experience severe lethargy and myocardial dysfunction.
The fourth phase may occur several weeks after ingestion and is characterised by gastrointestinal obstruction and possibly late hepatic damage.
Treatment:
The following steps are recommended to minimise or prevent further absorption of the medication. Gastric lavage should be considered only within 1 hour of a life-threatening amount being ingested, if the airway can be protected adequately.
Children:
1. Administer an emetic such as syrup of ipecac.
2. Emesis should be followed by gastric lavage with desferrioxamine solution (2 g/l). This should then be followed by the installation of desferrioxamine 5 g in 50-100 ml water, to be retained in the stomach. Inducing diarrhoea in children may be dangerous and should not be undertaken in young children. Keep the patient under constant surveillance to detect possible aspiration of vomitus — maintain suction apparatus and standby emergency oxygen in case of need.
3. Severe poisoning:
In the presence of shock and/or coma with high serum iron levels (serum iron > 90 µmol/l) immediate supportive measure plus IV infusion of desferrioxamine should be instituted. Desferrioxamine 1 5 mg/kg body weight should be administered every hour by slow IV infusion to a maximum 80 mg/kg/24 hours.
Warning:
Hypotension may occur if the infusion rate is too rapid.
4. Less severe poisoning:
IM desferrioxamine 1 g 4-6-hourly is recommended.
5. Serum iron levels should be monitored throughout.
Adults:
1. Administer an emetic.
2.Gastric lavage may be necessary to remove drug already released into the stomach. This should be undertaken using a desferrioxamine solution (2 g/l).
Desferrioxamine 5 g in 50-100 ml water should be introduced into the stomach following gastric emptying. Keep the patients under constant surveillance to detect possible aspiration of vomitus; maintain suction apparatus and standby emergency oxygen in case of need.
3. A drink of mannitol or sorbitol should be given to induce small bowel emptying.
4. Severe poisoning.
In the presence of shock and/or coma with high serum iron levels (> 142 µmol/l) immediate supportive measures plus IV infusion of desferrioxamine should be instituted. The recommended dose of desferrioxamine is 5 mg/kg/h by a slow IV infusion up to a maximum of 80 mg/kg/24 hours.
Warning:
Hypotension may occur if the infusion rate is too rapid.
5. Less severe poisoning:
IM desferrioxamine 50 mg/kg up to a maximum dose of 4 g should be given.
6. Serum iron levels should be monitored throughout.

Iron is irregularly and incompletely absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, the main sites of absorption being the duodenum and jejunum. Absorption is aided by the acid secretions of the stomach or dietary acids, and is more readily effected when the iron is in the ferrous state. Absorption is also increased in conditions of iron deficiency or in the fasting state but is decreased if body stores are overloaded.

Fumafer
Ferrous fumarate is an iron preparation that is used in the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency. The amount of elemental iron is 330 mg/g of ferrous fumarate.
The major activity of supplemental iron is in the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Iron has putative immune-enhancing, anticarcinogenic and cognition-enhancing activities.
Uses
Fumafer is used to prevent or treat iron deficiency anaemia. The prevention of iron deficiency during pregnancy usually requires a combination of iron and folic acid. Iron is usually found in foods and is necessary for the normal development of red blood cells. A lack of iron affects the development of the red blood cells and causes a reduction in the number of red blood cells found in the body (iron deficiency anaemia).
Fumafer is also used to associated treatment for these conditions:
Folic acid antagonist overdose, Iron Deficiency (ID), Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), Oral Contraceptives
How Fumafer works
Iron is necessary for the production of hemoglobin. Iron-deficiency can lead to decreased production of hemoglobin and a microcytic, hypochromic anemia.

Dosage
Fumafer dosage
Iron-deficiency anemia:
- Adult: Usual dose range: Up to 600 mg daily. May increase up to 1.2 g daily if necessary.
- Child: Preterm neonate: 0.6-2.4 ml / kg daily; up to 6 yr: 2.5-5 ml bid.
Should be taken on an empty stomach. Best taken on an empty stomach. May be taken with meals to reduce GI discomfort.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Fumafer Tablets can sometimes cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. They might be:
- Heartburn
- Feeling sick or being sick
- Diarrhoea or constipation.
Also, you might find your stools are darker in color after you have taken this medicine. This is quite commonly seen with all iron preparations and is normal.
Toxicity
Acute iron overdosage can be divided into four stages. In the first stage, which occurs up to six hours after ingestion, the principal symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms include hypotension, tachycardia and CNS depression ranging from lethargy to coma. The second phase may occur at 6-24 hours after ingestion and is characterized by a temporary remission. In the third phase, gastrointestinal symptoms recur accompanied by shock, metabolic acidosis, coma, hepatic necrosis and jaundice, hypoglycemia, renal failure and pulmonary edema. The fourth phase may occur several weeks after ingestion and is characterized by gastrointestinal obstruction and liver damage. In a young child, 75 milligrams per kilogram is considered extremely dangerous. A dose of 30 milligrams per kilogram can lead to symptoms of toxicity. Estimates of a lethal dosage range from 180 milligrams per kilogram and upwards. A peak serum iron concentration of five micrograms or more per ml is associated with moderate to severe poisoning in many.
Precaution
Patients with intestinal strictures and diverticular disease. May worsen diarrhoea in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. May cause constipation and faecal impaction in elderly. Avoid prolonged admin (>6 mth) except in patients with continued bleeding, menorrhagia or repeated pregnancies. Not for routine use in treatment of haemolytic anaemia unless an iron-deficient state exists. Parenteral iron should not be used concurrently with oral iron treatment. Avoid use in patients receiving repeated blood tranfusions. Pregnancy.
Interaction
Oral absorption of iron may be increased when taken with ascorbic acid. May reduce the absorption of quinolones and tetracyclines when taken concurrently via the oral route. Concurrent admin with antacids may reduce the absorption of ferrous fumarate from the GI tract. May reduce the absorption of penicillamine in the gut when taken concurrently.
Food Interaction
- Avoid milk and dairy products. Take ferrous fumarate at least 2 hours before or after milk.
- Limit caffeine intake. Food and beverages containing caffeine may reduce iron absorption.
- Take at least 2 hours before or after calcium supplements.
- Take separate from antacids. Take ferrous fumarate at least 2 hours before or after antacids.
- Take with food. This reduces gastric irritation.
- Take with foods containing vitamin C. Foods rich in vitamin C increase the absorption of iron.
Elimination Route
The efficiency of absorption depends on the salt form, the amount administered, the dosing regimen and the size of iron stores. Subjects with normal iron stores absorb 10% to 35% of an iron dose. Those who are iron deficient may absorb up to 95% of an iron dose.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use
Pregnancy Category- Not Classified. FDA has not yet classified the drug into a specified pregnancy category
Contraindication
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Hemochroma
Acute Overdose
Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, haematemesis and rectal bleeding. Hypotension, coma and hepatocellular necrosis may occur later.
Treatment: Empty stomach contents by gastric lavage within 1 hr of ingestion. In severe toxicity, IV desferrioxamine may be given. Whole bowel irrigation may also be considered in severe poisoning.
