1. What is PRONTOFERRO and what is it used for
This medicine contains ferrous gluconate. Iron is a very important element for the human body because, in addition to intervening in many processes that occur within the body, it is necessary for the production of a protein contained within red blood cells called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is essential for transporting oxygen to all the cells in our body.
PRONTOFERRO is used to treat a decrease in red blood cells caused by iron deficiency (iron deficiency anemia).
2. What you need to know before taking PRONTOFERRO
Do not take PRONTOFERRO if:
- you are allergic to the active ingredient or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- you have diseases that cause an increase of iron in your body (hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis);
- you have a decrease in red blood cells (anemia) not caused by iron deficiency, for example hemolytic anemia (with destruction of red blood cells);
- you have long-lasting inflammation of the pancreas (chronic pancreatitis);
- you have a serious liver disease called cirrhosis.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking PRONTOFERRO.
During treatment with PRONTOFERRO, your doctor may ask you to undergo control tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy.
If your condition does not improve after 3 weeks of treatment, the doctor will prescribe specific tests to verify if your anemia is due to causes other than iron deficiency.
Pay attention
The administration of iron can be toxic, especially in children, at doses higher than 400 mg per day (more than 5 PRONTOFERRO tablets). Do not exceed the prescribed dose of PRONTOFERRO and do not use other iron-containing preparations without first talking to your doctor (see section 3 - “If you take more PRONTOFERRO than you should”).
Other medicines and PRONTOFERRO
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, as some medicines can interact with PRONTOFERRO or cause serious side effects.
This is particularly important if you are taking:
- tetracyclines, medicines used against infections;
- penicillamine, a medicine used for rheumatoid arthritis;
- antacids, medicines that reduce stomach acidity, used for example for reflux or ulcers. In this case, allow an interval of 2-3 hours between taking PRONTOFERRO and taking these medicines.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking PRONTOFERRO.
PRONTOFERRO can be administered during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
During pregnancy, the daily iron requirement increases: the doctor will take your condition into account to prescribe the correct dose.
Driving and operating machinery
PRONTOFERRO does not impair the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
PRONTOFERRO contains sodium, E110 yellow orange, sorbitol and aspartame:
- This medicine contains 212 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per tablet. This is equivalent to 10.6% of the maximum recommended daily intake with the diet of an adult;
- This medicine contains E110 yellow orange. It may cause allergic reactions;
- This medicine contains 200 mg of sorbitol per tablet. Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has told you that you (or your child) are intolerant to some sugars, or if you have a diagnosis of hereditary fructose intolerance, a rare genetic disease in which patients cannot metabolize fructose, talk to your doctor before you (or your child) take this medicine;
- This medicine contains 80 mg of aspartame per tablet. Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine. It may be harmful if you have phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disease that causes the accumulation of phenylalanine because the body cannot dispose of it properly.
3. How to take PRONTOFERRO
