Hierroplus

Hierroplus is a brand name used for iron supplements marketed in several Spanish-speaking markets. The product line aims to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia by supplying elemental iron to support hemoglobin production and iron stores. Typical formulations use a ferrous salt such as ferrous fumarate or gluconate and may include vitamin C to improve absorption. Some variants may also contain folic acid or other micronutrients.

Hierroplus is available as tablets, capsules, and oral solutions. Dosing varies by age and clinical need, but iron supplements are commonly taken once or twice daily with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Absorption can be influenced by timing relative to calcium-containing foods, antacids, and certain medications, which may require separation of doses.

Indications include iron deficiency due to inadequate intake, pregnancy, rapid growth, or blood loss. The product is intended to replenish iron stores and improve related symptoms under clinical guidance. Common adverse effects are gastrointestinal upset, constipation, nausea, and dark stools; serious reactions are rare.

Safety considerations include avoiding use in iron overload conditions such as hemochromatosis and in cases of intolerance to iron salts. People with ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or liver disease should use iron supplements under medical supervision. Possible interactions exist with certain antibiotics and thyroid medications when taken together.

Regulatory status varies by country. In many places iron supplements are available OTC with labeling that advises medical consultation for persistent symptoms. Hierroplus branding may be used by different manufacturers in different regions, so specific formulations and indications can vary.
