Who should not use ferrous sulphate?

In daily life, we will pay attention to the maintenance of diet, what is good and what is not, what is suitable for us, what is not suitable, etc., but medicine is the same. So, who should be cautious about using banned ferrous sulfate syrup? Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia.

When the amount of iron increases and the iron intake is insufficient, iron absorption disorder, and excessive iron loss can cause iron deficiency anemia, patients may have fatigue, fatigue, dizziness, stunted growth and development in children, mental retardation, susceptibility to infection and other symptoms, which should be actively prevented and treated. Compound ferrous sulfate granules are very effective in preventing iron deficiency anemia. So, what are the contraindications of compound ferrous sulfate granules?

Who should not use it? Contraindications to taking compound ferrous sulfate granules are:

1.Patients with hemosiderosis and other anemia without iron deficiency are contraindicated.

2.It is forbidden for patients with severe liver and kidney insufficiency.

3.It is forbidden for those with iron allergy. The dosage of compound ferrous sulfate granules is oral.

1 capsule plus 1 sachet of granular flavoring agent at a time. First, dissolve the granular flavoring agent in 50-100 ml of hot water, then pour the contents of the capsule into the water, dissolve and take it after meals. 1 time a day.

May appear when in use:

1.Nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, and constipation may be seen.

2.It can reduce bowel movements, cause constipation and pass black stools. It is normal for these conditions to occur.

Ferrous sulfate syrup is used for iron deficiency anemia caused by various causes in children (such as chronic blood loss, malnutrition, childhood development, etc.). Ferrous sulfate syrup and vitamin C are taken together with this product to facilitate absorption. When ferrous sulfate syrup is used for daily iron supplementation, the prophylactic dosage should be used, and the prophylactic dosage for children under 1 year of age should be consulted by a physician or pharmacist.

For people with iron deficiency and anemia, they often take ferrous sulfate drugs for iron supplementation, but we need to note that reasonable iron supplementation is beneficial to the body, but when we supplement uncontrollably, we will not only not benefit but will lead to iron poisoning. The following groups of people need to use prohibited ferrous sulfate syrup with caution:

1. Serious damage to liver and kidney function, especially for patients with untreated urinary tract infection.

2. Patients with high iron load, hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis are prohibited.

3. Patients with non-iron deficiency anemia (such as thalassemia) are prohibited.

4. Use with caution in the following situations: alcoholism, hepatitis, acute infection, intestinal inflammation, pancreatitis, gastric and duodenal ulcer, ulcerative enteritis.

Compound ferrous sulfate granules are used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia in children, and compound ferrous sulfate granules can also be used for iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women, lactating women and women with menorrhagia. Ferrous sulfate granules contain iron, which is the component of hemoglobin in red blood cells. When iron deficiency occurs, the amount of hemoglobin synthesized by red blood cells decreases, resulting in a decrease in the volume of red blood cells, a decrease in oxygen-carrying capacity, and the formation of iron deficiency anemia.

Patients with hepatitis, acute infection, intestinal inflammation, pancreatitis, peptic ulcer and other patients should use compound ferrous sulfate granules with caution. When we take medicine, we must follow the doctor's blessing, and we must not eat it according to our own wishes, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, remember.

The reason for the deterioration of ferrous sulfate is because it itself has strong reducing properties, and it will react with the air after being placed in the air for a long time, hydrolyze in the air, and slowly oxidize to ferric sulfate or ferrous oxyoxysulfate to deteriorate iron, and its ferrous ion ferric will be slowly oxidized to ferric 3 (Fe3+). The color of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate will change from the initial pale green to yellowish-brown. After the product is oxidized to ferric iron, it dissolves the solution into a precipitate and suspended solids, and the solution will also have a yellow color.

After the deterioration of solid ferrous iron, it will also form a yellow lump, and the chemical properties will change after deterioration, and the effect will be greatly reduced. How to prevent ferrous sulfate from deteriorating?

The reason why ferrous sulfate deteriorates is because it reacts with oxygen in the air, so the first way to extend its shelf life is to store it dry, avoid too much contact with air, and stay away from oxidants. Generally, ferrous sulfate can extend the shelf life by about 1 month if it is stored properly. Ferrous sulphate that has been dried at high temperatures lasts much longer than ferrous sulphate that has not been dried.

The method of preventing the deterioration of ferrous iron: add iron powder (iron element) to ferrous sulfate or solution, because ferrous oxidation produces iron sulfate, but iron sulfate reacts with iron to obtain ferrous sulfate fe+2fe3+=3fe2+. For solid products, it is recommended to mix and use now, and it is not recommended to add water to dissolve and store for a long time.

Even if ferrous iron is unstable, it is easily oxidized by oxygen, so if it is not stored properly, it will indeed fail and become iron sulfate.

Ferrous sulfate can be used to make iron salts, iron oxide pigments, mordants, water purification agents, preservatives, disinfectants, etc.;

1. Water treatment.

Ferrous sulphate is used for the flocculation purification of water, as well as for the removal of phosphate from municipal and industrial effluents to prevent eutrophication of water bodies.

2. Reducing agent.

A large amount of ferrous sulfate is used as a reducing agent, mainly to reduce chromate in cement.

3. Medicinal. ferrous sulfate for **iron deficiency anemia; It is also used to add iron to food, and long-term overuse may cause abdominal pain, nausea, etc. In medicine, it can also be used as a local astringent and blood tonic agent, and can be used for chronic blood loss caused by uterine fibroids.

4. Colorants.

Ferrous sulphate is used in the production of iron tannate inks and other inks. Mordants for wood dyeing also contain ferrous sulfate; Ferrous sulfate can be used to dye concrete to a yellow rust color; Carpentry uses ferrous sulphate to dye maple with a silvery color.

5. Agriculture. Adjust the pH of the soil, promote the formation of chlorophyll (also known as iron fertilizer), and prevent and control yellowing caused by iron deficiency in flowers and trees. It is an indispensable element for acid-loving flowers and trees, especially iron trees.

It can also be used as a pesticide in agriculture to prevent and control wheat smut, apple and pear scabs, and fruit tree rot diseases; It can also be used as fertilizer to remove moss and lichen from tree trunks.

6. Analytical chemistry.

Ferrous sulfate can be used as a chromatographic analysis reagent.

It is best used with citric acid.
