Momneed is a preparation of vitamins and minerals.: It is composed of elemental iron (as carbonyl iron), folic acid, zinc sulfate monohydrate, vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride and nicotinamide. Iron is present as carbonyl iron to avoid gastric irritation and to avoid toxicity which possesses higher bioavailability.
Momneed is indicated for:
Adult: One capsule daily before meal.
OR AS DIRECTED BY THE PHYSICIAN.
Folic acid interacts with antiepileptic drugs, no plasma concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin possibly reduced. Iron may decrease the absorption of antacids, tetracycline, quinolone antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, methyldopa and penicillamine.
Overdosage:
Symptoms of overdose with iron include epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting, Hematemesis and circulatory collapse. In severe cases encephalopathy, acute hepatic necrosis and renal failure may develop after a latent period. Treatment consists of gastric lavage followed by the introduction of 5 gm Desferrioxamine into the stomach. Serum iron levels should be monitored; in severe cases intravenous Desferrioxamine should be given together with supportive and symptomatic measures as required.
Recommended.
Special care should be taken in patient with iron overload states, such as haemochromatosis, hemolytic anaemia or red cell aplasia. In patients with renal failure there may be the risk of zinc accumulation.
