Iron Salts

In chemistry, iron(III) refers to the element iron in its +3 oxidation state. In ionic compounds (salts), such an atom may occur as a separate cation (positive ion) denoted by Fe3+.

I had my first Ferinject IV iron infusion a month ago. Had an allergic reaction prior to flushing and had to have antihistamines. It also brought on a hemorrhagic period the next day which lasted heavy for three days. I'm one month on and just started another heavy clotting period. Is this a side effect? ## I have just had a super heavy period, 1 week after a ferinject. The period was on time, but so heavy! ## Many medications can affect your menstrual period, according to NIH studies. This infusion may also cause nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and joint/muscle aches. Are you on any other medications?

I had my first infusion on Friday. I am having another one this coming Friday. My blood pressure has been very high and I feel awful especially in the mornings. As the day progresses, I seem to start to feel better. How long until all of these side effects stop? I also have a lot of pressure in my head at times. Not a full headache but just pressure. I wonder if it is all worth it. My ferritin level was only 5 so it was necessary. ## Hello, Sharon! How are you feeling? These infusions usually cause low blood pressure, not high. How high has it been? You should have it checked out. It is especially concerning, with the pressure you're feeling in your head. The FDA lists the infusions normal side effects as possibly including dizziness, faintness, bloating and chest pain. ## I was giv...

Is it dangerous to take profan with iron and ferrous sulfate together? ## Yes, you should only take one or the other. Taking too much iron can cause serious health problems and possible liver damage/failure, that could be fatal. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is it safe? ## Your iron being low is far more dangerous than undergoing to treatments to rectify the problem, according to the NIH. However, you should be made aware that some side effects may persist for the rest of your life, such as headaches and joint pain. What other medications do you take? Some of them may be contributing to the problem. ## I am presently on Cardace 2.5 mg + Cardivas 6.25 + HCQS 200 + Dytor 10 + Lipicure 20 + Ecosprin 75 along with meds for Diabetes. I also take a supplement called One a Day and Folic Acid.

I have been taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets (325 mg; 1 tablet 3 times per day) for the last month. My Hgb is still 87 and Hct 27.7 (both results are still low). These pills have been perscribed through the VA Clinic. My Family Physician says that he has had better results using the Poly Iron 150 than the Ferrous Sulfate. My question then is: If I order the Poly Iron tablets....at what dosage am I going to take them. Now taking 975 mg of ferrous sulfate and the poly iron is 150 mg. Would I take the same dosage of the Poly Iron to do any good? ## Hi Robert, How many tablets of Ferrous sulfate are you currently taking in order to reach 975mg? I think the maximum available dosage of this medication is 325mg, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Poly Iron (Polysaccharide-Iron Complex) may ...

I have had 16 iron infusions one each week for the last 16 weeks. When I first started my Ferritin was 4 and Bind Cap 430 now my Ferritin is 126 with a Bind Cap 266. I start another 8 week round this week. I'm concerned that we are not finding out the real reason my iron is so low and however going up in some areas and clearly going down in other areas. The process is so frustrating I could just cry, then I quickly remind myself that it could be so much worse. I experiance chest/lung pain, back pain, #2s;( for a couple days then life is back to normal till the next week. I would like to know a diagnosis rather than you're Anemic... ## Hi, Alicia! There are many reasons it could happen, most associated with bleeding. Has your menstrual cycle been heavier or longer than usual? Are...

Ferrancee is a tablet composed of Iron and Vitamin C, to improve the low Iron in the Blood. I want to know if I can find it OTC in the Pharmacy. ## Hello, Andy! How are you? This brand name isn't available in the U.S., but there are many such supplements available over the counter here that you could take, as long as your doctor says it is safe for you to do so. However, very high dose ones will only be available by prescription and you'll need to see a doctor to get one. Is there anything else I can help with?
