PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Anti-anemic drug.
Contains iron and calcium folinate. Replenishes the lack of iron and folate in the body.
The main function of iron is the transfer of oxygen to the tissues.
Iron is a part of hemoglobin, myoglobin, iron-containing cytochrome enzymes, carries electrons and acts as a catalyst for oxidation, hydroxylation and other metabolic processes.
Ferlatum Foul contains iron-protein succinylate, which is a complex compound, where the trivalent iron atoms are surrounded by a semisynthetic protein carrier, which prevents damage to the gastric mucosa.
The protein carrier dissolves in the duodenum, releasing iron at the site of optimal absorption.
From the intestine to the blood, trivalent iron comes through active absorption, which explains the impossibility of overdose and poisoning.

Calcium folinate is the calcium salt of folic acid, which compensates for the lack of folate in the body.
