Abstract
The treatment of iron deficiency anemia in children usually consists in the use of ferrous sulfate solution, but this treatment does not always have the desired effectiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of chewable carbonyl iron tablets as an alternative for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in under six-year-old children. Seventy-three children from Brazilian Family Health Units in Santa Maria, Brazil, were included in this study. One group received chewable carbonyl iron (CI) tablets and a control group received a solution of ferrous sulfate (FS) for 90 days, both at a dose of 5 mg/Kg/day. Blood was drawn from study participants at 0, 30 and 90 days of treatment to evaluate the whole blood test, ferritin concentration, serum iron, and total iron binding capacity. We also evaluated the acceptance and adherence to treatment, and the occurrence of side effects during treatment. Hemoglobin increased 1.3 g/dL in the CI Group and 1.2 g/dL in the FS group during the first 30 days of treatment. After 90 days of treatment, the CI Group had significantly better results for hematocrit, MCV, MCH, iron binding capacity and ferritin concentration compared to the FS Group. The ferritin concentration was significantly higher in the CI Group at the end of the treatment (9.51 ng/mL to 26.16 ng/mL). Additionally, the treatment was better accepted with fewer adverse effects by this group. Chewable carbonyl iron tablets should be considered an important therapeutic option in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia of under six-year-old children.
O tratamento da anemia ferropriva de crianças consiste, em sua maioria, no uso de solução de sulfato ferroso e este tratamento nem sempre apresenta a efetividade desejada. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a efetividade do ferro carbonila, na forma de comprimidos mastigáveis, como uma alternativa de tratamento para anemia ferropriva de crianças menores de seis anos de idade. Foram incluídas no estudo 73 crianças atendidas em PSFs de Santa Maria, RS. Um grupo recebeu comprimidos mastigáveis de ferro carbonila (CI) e o grupo controle recebeu solução de sulfato ferroso (FS), ambos a dose de 5mg/Kg/dia por 90 dias. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas nos dias zero, 30 e 90 do tratamento para avaliação de hemograma, ferritina, ferro sérico e capacidade total de ligação do ferro. Também foi avaliada a aceitação e aderência ao tratamento e relato de efeitos colaterais durante o tratamento. A hemoglobina teve um incremento de 1,3g/dL no grupo CI e 1,2g/dL no grupo FS aos 30 dias de tratamento. Após 90 dias de tratamento, o grupo CI apresentou resultados significativamente melhores para hematócrito, VCM, HCM, CTLF e ferritina. A ferritina do grupo CI teve um importante aumento ao final do tratamento (9,51ng/mL para 26,16ng/mL). O grupo CI apresentou melhor aceitação do tratamento e menos efeitos colaterais. Comprimidos mastigáveis de ferro carbonila poderiam ser considerados uma importante opção terapêutica para tratamento da anemia ferropriva de crianças menores de seis anos de idade.
