Nadroparin, a substance that is the active ingredient fraxiparin refers to anticoagulants or drugs that prevent the formation of blood clots. Fraksiparin used for treatment and prophylaxis of thrombosis Thrombosis - the cause of heart attack and stroke   Deep vein. At the same violation in the blood vessels of the legs are formed blood clots, or thrombi. Sometimes clots travel to the lungs and block the blood vessels in them, causing a very serious condition known as thromboembolism Thromboembolism: severe complications   pulmonary artery.

Fraksiparin often prescribed to prevent these diseases in people undergoing various surgical procedures. It is also used to prevent blood clots in people who are undergoing hemodialysis Hemodialysis: artificial kidney . In addition, it is used in the treatment of patients suffering from unstable angina Unstable angina - alarm organism   and suffered a heart attack.

Iron deficiency anemia - one of the most common diseases in the world. To cure the anemia and eliminate iron deficiency in the body is possible only with the help of special preparations containing the trace mineral, and ferlatum - one of them.

How does ferlatum

Iron - a carrier of oxygen to all tissues of the human body. It is part of hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes and ensures the normal course of many metabolic processes. With a shortage of iron in the body is developing iron-deficiency anemia, which is manifested by weakness, dizziness, fatigue, fainting, hair loss, brittle nails, and many other symptoms.

Ferlatum - a drug that contains atoms of ferric iron and semi-synthetic protein. When the drug passes into the stomach under the action of acidic proteins form a dense shell around the iron ions and protect the mucosa from their irritant action. Then, the complex enters the duodenum - the place the best absorption of this trace element. There, under the action of an alkali content of the protein disintegrates, and the iron is released and then enters into blood.

The states are often accompanied by iron deficiency anemia

Iron deficiency usually develops for the following reasons:

• Long-term, but little loss of blood. Most often they are women of reproductive age in the background giperpolimenorei (prolonged and heavy menstruation). The second frequency of the reason - persistent bleeding from the vessels of the gastrointestinal tract. They can cause a variety of diseases: ulcer and erosion of the stomach or duodenal ulcers, cancer of the esophagus, stomach or intestines, diaphragmatic hernia, polyps of the stomach or large intestine, hemorrhoids. Glomerulonephritis, kidney stones and other kidney disease may be accompanied by a permanent loss of blood. Cancer or tuberculosis Tuberculosis - a full recovery is not guaranteed   pulmonary, nasal bleeding - also one of the causes of iron deficiency anemia.
• The increased need for iron. This trace mineral is needed in large quantities for pregnant and lactating women, puberty Puberty child - stages of a complex path   and intensive exercise.
• Insufficient intake of iron from food. This situation arises from the strict vegetarians, while poor nutrition and anorexia nervosa.
• Malabsorption of iron. In chronic inflammation of the small intestine (enteritis), or surgical removal of part of developing iron deficiency anemia. The frequent use of strong tea can also be a disease, because this beverage slows the absorption of iron in the small intestine.
• Violation of transporting iron. In human blood, it is a special protein transferrin. It transports iron from intestines and from storage sites (liver, spleen) in the bone marrow, where blood cells are formed. Hereditary diseases associated with deficient transferrin, and those conditions where the amount of total protein in the human body is reduced, leading to reduction in the formation of erythrocytes (red blood cells containing iron and oxygen-carrying).

Indications and contraindications for admission

Indications for admission ferlatuma are:

• The latent (hidden) iron deficiency anemia - a condition in which the symptoms of the disease there, and iron deficiency is detected only through laboratory analysis.
• Severe iron deficiency anemia, which is accompanied by signs of iron deficiency.
• Prevention of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy, infant feeding Breastfeeding - a personal choice   feeding, during periods of active growth, long-term blood loss from any source, as well as on the background of malnutrition.

Ferlatum can not be used when:

• Hypersensitivity to the components that are part of the drug;
• State when the iron is not absorbed by the body;
• Other types of anemia that are not associated with iron deficiency;
• Cirrhosis of the liver;
• Chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).

Side effects and symptoms of overdose

Side effects of the drug often develop when taking ferlatuma in high doses. These include stomach pain, nausea, constipation or diarrhea. These symptoms disappear completely while reducing the dose or its complete abolition.

If a large overdose of iron supplements in the first eight o'clock, pain in the abdomen Abdominal pain: Types and Symptoms Nausea, vomiting (sometimes with blood), drowsiness, pallor, and in severe cases, develop a state of shock or coma. At the same time an urgent need to wash out the stomach and seek medical advice. But such situations when applying ferlatuma not been revealed.

The drug does not interfere with the ability to focus and slow psychomotor reaction ferlatum therefore does not affect the ability to drive moving mechanisms (such as driving a car). Simultaneous administration of ascorbic acid improves the process of supply of iron to the blood and assignment antacids (drugs that reduce the acidity of stomach contents), on the contrary, they slow down. Application ferlatuma together with antibiotics of the tetracycline group violates the absorption of the latter, because of this combination of drugs should be avoided.

When hemoglobin and serum iron bounce back, we need to continue treatment with another two or three months, but in maintenance doses. Ferlatum should take no more than six months. However, under certain conditions, which are associated with the prolonged loss of blood or during pregnancy, this period increases physician individually.

Ferlatum - a modern drug for the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia. Minimal risk of adverse reactions does this drug more comfortable than other iron tools.
