14. Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacological group: Medicines to treat anemia, oral preparations containing iron (III), iron complex with isomaltose.
ATC code: B03AB05
Iron salts play an important role in the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Normally, the body will store iron in the form of ferritin and hemosiderin to synthesize hemoglobin. Iron (III) is less able to diffuse across mucosal membranes than iron (II) due to its large molecular mass. Because there is no free iron ion, IPC complex (iron (III) hydroxide polymaltose) has high safety and lower toxicity than iron (II), thereby causing less irritation and increasing patient tolerance. .
The use of IPC in the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency cases with clinically proven effectiveness, hemoglobin values can increase up to 0.8mg/dl per week.
15. Pharmacokinetic properties
Iron absorption in the body is a physiological process. After contacting the iron binding site on the mucosal surface, IPC will release iron (III), at which time iron (III) will be actively transported and in mucosal cells. Here, it will bind to ferritin and transferrin. The bioavailability of the drug does not depend on the presence of food.
The half-life of iron is about 90 minutes. The iron in preparations is usually iron(II), so iron(II) absorption is passive and uncontrolled. Unlike iron (II), IPC has higher safety, causes less stomach irritation, and rarely interacts with other substances.
