Glucoferro

Glucoferro is an oral iron supplement containing ferrous gluconate, developed and marketed by Guidotti, a subsidiary of the Menarini Group. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia. The medication provides elemental iron in the ferrous (Fe2+) state, which is a critical component of hemoglobin, myoglobin, and various enzymes. By replenishing iron stores, Glucoferro facilitates the production of red blood cells and improves oxygen transport capacity in the blood. It is typically administered orally and is valued for its gastrointestinal tolerability compared to some other iron salts. The product is available in formulations such as effervescent tablets and oral solutions to enhance patient compliance.
