1. What is FERRO-GRAD and what is it used for
This medicine is used against anemia (a disease caused by a decrease
in the number of red blood cells in the blood or hemoglobin, a protein present in the blood
responsible for transporting oxygen).
It is used to treat anemia due to iron deficiency and caused by:
- blood loss, acute or chronic
- insufficient intake or absorption of iron
- increased iron requirement (growth, pregnancy)
- infectious disease
2. What you need to know before taking FERRO-GRAD
Do not take FERRO-GRAD:
- if you are allergic to ferrous sulfate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
- if you suffer from hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis (iron overload in the body)
- if you suffer from hemolytic anemia (excessive destruction of red blood cells)
- if you suffer from intestinal diverticula (disease caused by the presence of outpouchings in the colon) or intestinal obstruction
- if you are receiving repeated blood transfusions
- if you are already receiving parenteral (injectable via injections) iron-based treatment.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking FERRO-GRAD.
Due to the risk of mouth ulcers and changes in tooth color, the
tablets should not be sucked, chewed or held in the mouth, but must be
swallowed whole with water. If you cannot follow these instructions or have difficulty
swallowing, contact your doctor.
If you accidentally choke on a tablet, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
This is because if the tablet enters the airways there is a risk of ulceration and narrowing of the bronchi. This can lead to persistent cough, coughing up blood
and/or shortness of breath, even if the choking occurred days or months before such
symptoms develop. Therefore, your condition must be assessed urgently to
ensure that the tablet has not damaged the airways.
Black stools may interfere with laboratory tests used to detect blood in the stool. Occasionally, the guaiac resin test (used to detect blood in the stool) has given false positive results for blood.
Other medicines and FERRO-GRAD
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might
take any other medicines, particularly:
- tetracyclines (antibiotics): as with all iron-based preparations, Ferro-Grad slows down the absorption of tetracyclines in the body and tetracyclines slow down the absorption of iron. If both therapies need to be taken, tetracyclines should be administered 2 hours before or 3 hours after taking Ferro-Grad.
- penicillamine (medicine used to treat rheumatism): iron may reduce the absorption of penicillamine in the body. If both therapies need to be taken, penicillamine should be administered 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking the iron-based preparation.
- chloramphenicol (antibiotic): may delay the response to iron-based therapy.
- antacids (used for some digestive disorders): concomitant administration of antacids and oral iron preparations may reduce iron absorption. Avoid taking oral iron preparations 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking antacids.
- quinolones (antibiotics): concomitant administration of oral iron preparations may interfere with the absorption of some oral quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin, as evidenced by decreased quinolone concentrations in serum and urine. Avoid taking oral iron preparations at the same time or within 2 hours of taking quinolones.
- methyldopa (used for high blood pressure): concomitant administration of oral iron preparations may reduce the absorption of methyldopa.
- thyroxine (drug for the treatment of some thyroid diseases): in patients suffering from primary hypothyroidism, concomitant administration of oral iron preparations may reduce the absorption of thyroxine. Pregnancy and breastfeedingThe use of this medicine is recommended in case of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, or if you are
breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking
this medicine.
Driving and using machines
No effects on attention and the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery have been reported.

3. How to take FERRO-GRAD
Dosage and route of administration
Adults and children over 10 years of age: 1 tablet daily to be swallowed without
chewing.
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not suck, chew or hold the
tablet in your mouth.
The probability of gastric intolerance (at the level of the stomach) is low, however, if this
should occur, you can take the tablet after a meal.
If you take more FERRO-GRAD than you should
If you think you have taken an excessive dose of FERRO-GRAD, immediately inform your
doctor and go to the nearest hospital; bring with you the package of the medicine with the
remaining tablets.
Signs of severe toxicity may appear late as the iron is in a controlled-release formulation. In case of acute iron poisoning, the following
symptoms may appear: increased capillary permeability (blood vessels), plasma hypovolemia
(decreased blood volume in circulation), increased cardiac output (volume of
blood ejected from a ventricle) and sudden cardiovascular collapse (reduced availability
of blood to organs, manifesting with a weak and rapid heartbeat, sweating,
feeling of coldness in the hands and feet, pallor and nausea).
In case of overdose, it is necessary to try to accelerate the elimination of the FERRO-GRAD tablets
ingested
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The following have been observed, with low incidence:
- diarrhea,
- constipation,
- nausea,
- vomiting,
- abdominal pain or discomfort,
- black stools.
Isolated cases have been observed:
- allergic reactions ranging from rash (skin eruption) to anaphylaxis (a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction).
Observed with unknown frequency (frequency cannot be estimated on the basis of
available data):
- mouth ulcers (in case of incorrect use, when the tablets are chewed, sucked or held in the mouth). All patients, but particularly elderly patients and patients with difficulty swallowing, may also be at risk of ulcers of the throat or esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach). If the tablet enters the airways, there is a risk of bronchial ulcers (the main channels for air passage to the lungs), with consequent bronchial narrowing.
