1. What is Ferplex 60 and what is it used for
Ferplex contains the active ingredient ferriprotinate, which belongs to the therapeutic category
of anti-anemic drugs based on trivalent iron active by oral route.
This medicine is used for the treatment of absolute or
relative iron deficiency states: latent or manifest sideropenic anemias (anemia caused by a lack of iron in the body)
in childhood and adulthood, due to insufficient intake or insufficient
absorption of iron, or resulting from chronic bleeding, or infectious diseases,
pregnancy, breastfeeding.
2. What you need to know before taking Ferplex 60
Do not take Ferplex 60
- if you are allergic to iron(II) protein succinate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you suffer from hemosiderosis (excess iron that deposits in the tissues);
- if you suffer from hemochromatosis (a disorder of iron metabolism that leads to iron accumulation in the tissues);
- if you have aplastic anemia (characterized by a decrease in the three components of the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets);
- if you have hemolytic anemia (excessive destruction of red blood cells);
- if you have sideroacrestic anemia (due to defective iron utilization);
- if you suffer from chronic pancreatitis (chronic inflammation of the pancreas) secondary to hemochromatosis;
- if you suffer from hepatic cirrhosis (chronic inflammation of the liver) secondary to hemochromatosis.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Ferplex 60.
Once the cause of iron deficiency or anemia has been identified, in addition to iron therapy, your doctor will advise treatment for these conditions, if
available.
Pay particular attention when using Ferplex if you suffer from hepatic insufficiency (reduced
liver function). The liver is one of the major sites of iron storage; in case of
hepatic insufficiency (reduced liver function) a greater accumulation of
iron may occur.
The medicine does not pose a risk of habituation or dependence. Its administration
should not exceed 6 months, unless in the presence of continuous bleeding, menorrhagia
(excessive or prolonged menstruation) or pregnancy.
Use caution if you suffer from milk protein intolerance, as
allergic reactions may occur.
