Pharmacodynamics

An iron medicine that also contains multivitamins. The medicinal effect of the drug is determined by its composition and the interaction of its elements.

Of extreme importance is the role of divalent iron, which is involved in a large number of processes occurring within the human body. This element is a component of hemoglobin (has a direct effect on the volume and quality of blood) and supports respiratory processes within tissues and hydrogen values of biological fluid. At the same time, iron actively participates in oxidation-reduction processes that occur against the background of the formation of erythrocytes within the bone marrow (in combination with pyridoxine and riboflavin).

The combination of iron with vitamin C and riboflavin (and other B vitamins) reduces the negative impact of iron on the gastric mucosa. The drug also has a high level of absorption by the body.

Thiamine has a positive effect on the function and structure of the myocardium, is an active participant in metabolic processes. The other vitamins included in category B help improve vision, activate the function of the gastrointestinal tract and nourish the cells located inside the retina with the cornea.
