Anti anemia drugs Flashcards
Routes of Administration (ROA) of Carbonyl Iron and Ferrous Gluconate
oral preferred given usually over 3-6 months
ROA for ferric gluconate
IV
ROA for iron dextran
IV/IM given to people with documented Fe anemia or people who can’t tolerate pills
Elimination method of endogenous iron
none
what form is iron stored in ferritin
Fe+3 ferric
where is iron stored
bone marrow, liver, duodenum
How is iron transported and in what form is it transported in?
Transferrin transports iron in the ferric form to TfR in the bone marrow to bind with heme
Where is iron absorbed
duodenum, jejunun, ileum
Clinical Use (CU) of ferric gluconate
given to pts with chronic hemodialysis
CU of carbonyl iron, ferrous gluconate
given for iron def anemia over 3-6 months
CU of iron dextran
pts must have a documented case of anemia
Adverse effects of carbonyl iron and ferrous gluconate
dark stools

bowel irrigation or iron antidote (deferoxamine )
chronic iron toxicity
iron overload hemochromatosis
most common form of hemochromatosis

ROA of Deferoxamine
oral, SC, IV
ROA for Deferasirox
oral
how is deferoxamine excreted
urine
how is deferasirox excreted
feces
Clinical uses of iron chelators
binds to the ferric form of iron and inactives it
does not bind to ferrous form on heme
Clinical use of Deferoxamine
acute iron toxicity and chronic iron overload
Clinical Use of Deferasirox
chronic iron overloading from blood transfusions
Adverse effects of deferoxamine
growth retardation, neuropahy
contraindications of deferoxamine
renal failure, pregnancy rating category c
adverse effects for deferasirox
