Swissmedic-approved patient informationferro sanol®UCB-Pharma SAWhat is ferro sanol and when is it used?ferro sanol is an iron preparation used to treat iron deficiency in the blood. Iron deficiency states can arise, for example, with high blood loss during pregnancy, during childbirth and breastfeeding, in the growth phase of children.

When is caution required when taking ferro sanol?Inflammatory stomach and intestinal diseases (e.g. gastritis, stomach or intestinal ulcers, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, narrowing of the intestine , diverticula) you should only take iron supplements with caution and after consulting your doctor.

Certain antibiotics (tetracyclines, e.g. doxycycline, and quinolones), the blood pressure medication methyldopa, penicillamine, oral gold compounds and the thyroid hormone thyroxine are impaired in their effectiveness if taken at the same time as ferro sanol. Some medicines for stomach hyperacidity (antacids), for high blood fat levels (cholestyramine) and the Parkinson's drug levodopa can reduce the effect of ferro sanol by impairing the absorption of iron in the intestine. If ferro sanol capsules and thyroid hormones such as L-thyroxine have to be taken, the interval between taking them should be at least 2 hours, otherwise the absorption of L-thyroxine will be disturbed. The irritating effect on the mucous membranes in the stomach and intestines can be increased by taking certain anti-inflammatory agents (e.g. salicylates, phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone). There should therefore be a gap of several hours between taking one of the above-mentioned medicines and ferro sanol. Taking the antibiotic doxycycline together with ferro sanol should be avoided. If the antibiotic chloramphenicol is administered at the same time, the effect of iron therapy may be delayed. Chronic alcohol abuse can lead to iron overload by increasing iron intake.
