Properties:

Iron is an essential constituent of the body, being necessary for hemoglobin formation and for the oxidative processes in living  tissues. Iron helps to preserve many vital functions in the body, including general energy and focus, gastrointestinal processes, the immune system, and the regulation of body temperature. 

Iron-deficiency anemia may cause serious complications such as fatigue, headaches, restless legs syndrome, heart problems, pregnancy complications and developmental delays.

Indications:

Haemojet is used to treat iron deficiency anemia that may be already present or in case of excess loss of iron (excessive bleeding).

Dosage and administration:

Adults and children over 12 years:

I capsule 2 – 3 times daily during or after meals.

Side effects:

Occasionally, gastrointestinal irritation such as sensation of repletion, pressure in the epigastric region, nausea, constipation or diarrhea may occur.

Contraindications:

-Disturbances in iron utilization (lead anemia),

-Thalassemia.

-Hypersensitivity or intolerance of iron and overloading of iron in the body.

-Anaemia not caused by iron deficiency.

-Hypersensitivity to iron, iron overload, chronic polyarthritis, bronchial asthma, renal or hepatic infections.

Warnings and precautions:

• Administration of iron for longer than 6 months should be avoided except in patients with continued bleeding, menorrhagia, or repeated pregnancies. Iron should not be used to treat hemolytic anemia unless an iron deficient state also exists, since excess storage of iron with possible secondary hemochromatosis can result. Iron should not be administered to patients receiving repeated blood transfusions, since there is a considerable amount of iron in the hemoglobin of transfused erythrocytes.
• Pregnancy and lactation:

There is no evidence of a risk during the first trimester and the possibility of a negative influence to the fetus is unlikely to occur. Mother’s milk contains iron bound to lactoferrin. It is not known how much iron from the complex is passed into mother’s milk. The administration of Haemojet is unlikely to cause undesirable effects to the nurse child.

• Drug interactions:

There is no interaction between Haemojet and drugs due to its non ionic nature.

Storage:

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25°C, in a dry place.

Package:

A box containing 3 strips (PVDC/AI), each strip contains 12 soft gelatin capsules, and an inner leaflet.
