Side effects of Lefengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsules

For patients with iron deficiency anemia, it is crucial to choose a safe and effective iron supplement. The original drug, Lefengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsule, has shown outstanding performance in the treatment of simple iron deficiency anemia, especially in pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia. While paying attention to its therapeutic effect, many people are also concerned about the side effects of Lefengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsules? Firstly, traditional iron agents such as ferrous sulfate/ferrous succinate have been widely used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in the past. But it has a clear weakness: it can cause significant irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Due to the high activity of free iron ions in traditional iron supplements, they can easily react with other substances in the gastrointestinal tract, causing nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, and inhibiting intestinal peristalsis, leading to constipation. Many patients may experience nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, and intestinal peristalsis after taking it, leading to frequent constipation problems. Moreover, the absorption effect of traditional iron supplements is not very stable and is easily affected by various components in food, such as dietary fiber, calcium, phosphorus and other substances in food, which may reduce their absorption rate. So, what are the side effects of Lefengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsules?

Unlike traditional ferrous preparations, the molecular structure of Lefengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsules is formed by the combination of iron elements and polysaccharides to form a stable complex, existing in a complete molecular form without free iron ions, which fundamentally reduces the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract and significantly reduces its side effects. This fundamentally reduces the potential side effects of traditional iron supplements, such as gastrointestinal corrosion, oral odor, constipation, and iron poisoning. In addition, Lifengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsule is the only polysaccharide iron complex with a unique microsphere structure. Each microsphere is composed of a polysaccharide iron core and special excipients, with an outer layer wrapped in enteric material. This pellet structure has multiple clinical advantages:

Firstly, the pellet has a small volume and uniform contact area with the gastrointestinal mucosa, which can improve bioavailability while reducing local gastrointestinal irritation;

Secondly, the microspheres are slowly released in the stomach to avoid the impact of high concentration iron on the gastric mucosa in an instant. They are quickly dissolved and absorbed in the intestine, further reducing potential side effects. Research shows that the dissolution rate of Lefei in gastric acid is only 7% to 10% within 2 hours, and the dissolution rate in the intestine reaches over 93%. It is not affected by gastric emptying factors, has more efficient absorption, and has fewer side effects.

Thirdly, the hydrogenated castor oil component in the microspheres can lubricate the intestines and reduce the risk of constipation. The incidence of side effects in Lifengneng polysaccharide iron complex capsules is lower than that of traditional iron supplements. In the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, its low side effects and high absorption efficiency make it one of the commonly used iron supplements in clinical practice. Therefore, for populations that require long-term iron supplementation, such as pregnant women and patients with chronic kidney disease, the use of Levofloxacin can effectively improve anemia symptoms, reduce the risk of side effects, improve compliance and overall efficacy, and help improve patients' treatment compliance and overall treatment outcomes.
