Pharmacological action
Actiferrin Drops for oral administration – iron preparation.
Iron is necessary for the life of the body: it is part of hemoglobin, myoglobin, a number of enzymes reversibly binds oxygen and is involved in a number of redox reactions and stimulates erythropoiesis. The alpha-amino acid serine, which is part of Actiferrin, promotes more efficient absorption of iron and its entry into the systemic circulation, which leads to a quick restoration of the normal iron content in the body. The inclusion of serine in the alpha amino acid can reduce the dose of iron, providing better tolerance to the drug.
When using the Actiferrin drug, iron deficiency in the body is quickly filled up, which leads to a gradual regression of clinical (weakness, fatigue, dizziness, tachycardia, soreness and dry skin) and laboratory symptoms of anemia.
Indications
Iron deficiency anemia of various etiologies.
Latent lack of iron in the body, associated with excessive loss of iron (bleeding) or with increased demand for it (period of active growth
Defective nutrition
Chronic gastritis with secretory insufficiency
Condition after resection of the stomach
Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum
Decreased resistance of the body to infectious diseases).
Contraindications
Hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis
Other types of anemia not caused by iron deficiency in the body
Aplastic and hemolytic anemia
Siderohrestichnaya anemia, anemia with lead poisoning

Use during pregnancy and lactation
With established iron deficiency in the body during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), the use of Actiferrin is considered reasonable and safe.

Drug Interactions
Antacids, calcium drugs, gastric acid-lowering agents (including cimetidine, medicines containing carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates, oxalates), pancreatin, pancreatinolipyntitis the interval between administration of these drugs should be 1-2 h).
When used together, ascorbic acid increases iron absorption.
Actiferrin reduces the absorption of fluoroquinolones, penicillamine, tetracyclines (these drugs are recommended to be taken 2 h before or 2 h after iron administration).
Actifrin at high doses decreases renal absorption of zinc preparations (these drugs are recommended to be taken 2 h after administration of iron preparations).
Ethanol increases iron absorption and increases the risk of toxic complications.
overdose
Symptoms: at accidental administration of the drug in very high doses, weakness, fatigue, paresthesia, pallor of the skin, decrease in blood pressure, palpitations, acrocyanosis, abdominal pain, diarrhea with vomiting, vomiting, tingling , hyperthermia, lethargy, seizures, symptoms of hyperventilation, coma.
Signs of peripheral vascular collapse appear within 30 min after ingestion of metabolic acidosis, convulsions, fever, leukocytosis, coma – within 12-24 h acute renal and hepatic necrosis – in 2-4 days.
Treatment: before specific therapy – gastric lavage, milk intake, raw eggs. Specific therapy is carried out by the appointment of deferoxamine (desferal) inside and parenterally.
In acute poisoning for iron binding, which has not yet been absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, give inside 5-10 g of diferoxamine by dissolving the contents of 10-20 ampoules in drinking water. For removal of absorbed iron, deferoxamine is injected in / m slowly, children – 15 mg / h, adults – 5 mg / kg / h (up to 80 mg / kg / day) with mild poisoning – in / m children 1 g every 4- 6 h, for adults – 50 mg / kg (up to 4 g / day).
In severe cases, accompanied by the development of shock, carry out in / in drip administration of the drug at a dose of 1 g and carry out symptomatic therapy.
Hemodialysis is ineffective for iron removal, but can be used to accelerate the removal of iron-deferroxamine complex, and can also be prescribed for oligo- and anuria. Peritoneal dialysis is possible.
