It is used in such situations:

• anemia, which develops due to a deficiency of hemoglobin formation factors (for example, anemia, caused by blood loss);
• lack of adequate nutrition;

Release form

The release is made in the form of chewable lozenges with a volume of 30, as well as 50 grams, which are divided into 6 or 10 separate parts.

Pharmacodynamics

Hematogen is used to correct metabolic processes. The substance is the source of a full-fledged real protein (one in which all the amino acids are in the proportions most suitable for the body), and in addition minerals and fats with carbohydrates present in its composition in the closest possible correspondence with the values of human blood.

The drug stimulates the processes of hemopoiesis, increases the level of erythrocytes inside the blood in persons with anemia, and besides it helps to improve the absorption of iron inside the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, it increases the Hb values inside the blood and the ferritin level inside the plasma (ferritin is a globular protein complex, which is the main intracellular depot for iron), and also improves the morphological parameters of erythrocytes (for example, eliminates erythrocyte hypochromia and microcytosis, the average volume of their diameter).

Hematogen contains a considerable amount of retinol, which allows it to have a positive effect on the growth of nails with hair, as well as the state of the skin and vision.

Dosing and administration

Pastilles are used orally. The dose for an adult is 1-3 lozenges per 1 use. Take this portion should be 2-3 times / day (daily maximum - 50 g).

Restrictions on time, provided that the above instructions for admission, the drug does not.

Although the instructions of individual manufacturers indicate that the drug is allowed to use from the age of 2-3, doctors still recommend that it be introduced into a child's diet when the child reaches 5-7 years of age.

Use of the hematogen during pregnancy

Pregnant Hematogen is prescribed exclusively in the presence of indications, in limited portions and only in situations where its benefit to the mother is more likely than the potential risk of adverse effects on the fetus.

This prohibition is due to the fact that a high level of hemoglobin causes a thickening of the blood, which can cause thrombosis or capillary embolism in the placenta - this factor adversely affects the condition and development of the fetus.

The substance contains a lot of calories and therefore can lead to a sharp increase in weight. In addition, as a result of hormonal changes, the body of a pregnant woman is able to give an allergic response to the use of drugs.

Although we can not ignore that there are cases in which the use of Hematogen during pregnancy is extremely necessary and exceeds the likelihood of risks. Doctors sometimes designate it as a preventive drug against the development of iron deficiency anemia or for its treatment.

Therefore, it is rather difficult to answer the question about the use of medicines for pregnant women unequivocally. The attending doctor can advise his use or prohibit, taking into account the features of the course of the pregnancy period, as well as the individual characteristics of the woman's body.

To breastfeeding mothers, the use of the drug can be allowed only by the attending physician.
