Generics
Iron (III) hydroxide polymaltose complex
Used For
Anaemia
Side Effects
Occasionally gastro-intestinal irritations such as sensation of repletion, pressure in the epigastric region, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea can occur. A dark coloration of the stool is of no clinical significance.
Drug Interactions
Until now interactions have not been observed. Since the iron is complex-bound, ionic interactions with food stuff (phenytin, oxalates, tannin, etc.) and concomitant administration of medicament (tetracycline, antacids) are unlikely to occur. IPC does not cause teeth staining. The haemoccult-test (selective for haemoglobin) for the detection of occult blood is not impaired & therefore iron therapy must not be interrupted.
Indication
Prevention and treatment of all kinds of iron deficiencies particularly iron deficiency anaemia
