• Uses: Iron(II) Fumarate is a a chemical used in the treatment of iron deficiency. More commonly used for this treatment is Ferrous Sulfate however Iron(II) Fumarate does maintain similar absorption profiles. Ferrous fumarate is available as a syrup and may be useful in small children for the treatment and prophylaxis of iron deficiency. Ferrous Fumarate is a reddish orange to red-brown powder that is a source of iron. it has high bioavailability and can be used in foods where the red color can be masked. it contains approximately 33% iron. it is used as a dietary supplement in breakfast cereals, poultry stuffing, enriched flour, and instant drinks. Iron(II) fumarate is used as dietary Supplement, nutrient, iron source in foods and pharmaceuticals, as animal feed additive and in infant formulas.
• Description: Ferrous fumarate is the ferrous salt form of fumarate. One of its most important applications is being used as iron supplements for the treatment of iron deficiency and anemia. It has been demonstrated that application of ferrous sulfate drops or a single daily dose of microencapsulated ferrous fumarate sprinkles plus ascorbic acid both result in successful treatment of anemia without remarkable side effects. However, recent studies have also shown that compared to other iron supplements, ferrous fumarate has a highest rate of inducing adverse reactions such as erosive mucosal injury in the gastrointestinal tract as well as nausea, vomiting and epigastric discomfort.
• Therapeutic Function: Hematinic
• Clinical Use: Iron deficiency anaemia
• Drug interactions: Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs Antibacterials: reduced absorption of 4-quinolones and tetracyclines. Dimercaprol: avoid concomitant use. Mycophenolate: may significantly reduce absorption of mycophenolate.
