Ferro Sanol

Ferrous (II) Glycine Sulfate Complex, the active ingredient in Ferro Sanol, is an iron supplement presented as a 100 mg capsule for oral use. It is indicated for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in adults and children over 6 years old with a minimum body weight of 20 kg. GNH USA supplies Ferro Sanol as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Ferro Sanol is designed to provide a bioavailable form of iron that the body can easily absorb and utilize. The capsules are gastrorresistent, meaning they do not release their content in the stomach but rather in the intestines, where iron absorption primarily occurs.

Ferro Sanol is an iron supplement used to address iron deficiency and related conditions. It is formulated to correct and prevent iron deficiency, which can lead to anemia and other health issues.

- Iron deficiency: Corrects iron deficiency by replenishing iron stores in the body. - Iron deficiency anemia: Treats anemia caused by insufficient iron levels, improving hemoglobin production and red blood cell function. - Prevention during high-risk periods: Helps prevent iron deficiency in situations such as pregnancy, chronic blood loss, or increased iron demand.

Ferro Sanol, like other iron supplements, can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects are typically mild and may resolve as the body adjusts to the medication.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. - Constipation: A common side effect due to the iron content. - Diarrhea: Less common but possible. - Dark stools: Due to the presence of iron in the digestive tract.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reactions: Symptoms may include skin rash, itching, or hives. - Iron overdose: Symptoms may include severe stomach pain, vomiting blood, or black stools, which require immediate medical attention. - Iron poisoning: Particularly in children, which can be life-threatening and requires urgent medical intervention.
