Feralife Syrup 60ml

What it is used for: Anaemia.

Indications as listed by the manufacturer: Prevention and treatment of all kinds of iron deficiencies particularly iron deficiency anaemia

How it works: The central actions of benzodiazepines are mediated through an enhancement of the GABAergic neurotransmission at inhibitory synapeses. In the presence of benzodiazepines, the affinity of the GABA receptor for the neurotransmitter is enhanced through positive allosteric modulation resulting in an increased action of released GABA on the postsynaptic transmembrance chloride ion flux.

Active ingredient: Iron (III) hydroxide polymaltose complex.

Reported side effects: Occasionally gastro-intestinal irritations such as sensation of repletion, pressure in the epigastric region, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea can occur. A dark coloration of the stool is of no clinical significance.

Known drug interactions: Until now interactions have not been observed. Since the iron is complex-bound, ionic interactions with food stuff (phenytin, oxalates, tannin, etc.) and concomitant administration of medicament (tetracycline, antacids) are unlikely to occur. IPC does not cause teeth staining. The haemoccult-test (selective for haemoglobin) for the detection of occult blood is not impaired & therefore iron therapy must not be interrupted.
