Op#Fer® is economical because..
• With a dosage of one or two tablets once per day heme iron therapy is economical compared to the alterna#ves.
• Dosage will stay the same even over longer therapy.
Price per day is comparable with other products
• There are considerably less poten#ally therapy-ruining side-effects.
• This is a major problem when it comes to non-heme iron supplements. It is very common that side effects force the therapy to be terminated and something else tried.
• The last alterna#ve when nothing else works is very expensive and inconvenient intravenously given iron since iron is absolutely vital to life.
No failed therapies
• One or two tablets at a single administra#on per day steals no working #me. It is also convenient in other ways.
• There are no special precau#ons over simultaneously ingested food, drink or medicine.
Easy dosage once per day
• Heme-iron therapy can build up adequate iron storage in a natural and gentle fashion. There is no change in tolerability or efficacy over longer #me.
• With non-heme supplements side-effects are usually, even aMer ini#al good tolerance, slowly accumula#ng un#l the therapy has to be discon#nued.
Efficacy and tolerance will not change over #me
• Using heme iron very liOle is wasted. • What is not taken up is completely inert in the
gastro-intes#nal channel as opposed to non-absorbed free iron ions from non-heme iron, which are reac#ve and strongly irrita#ng.
Efficient: Uptake 25 %+ vs 2-3 % for non-heme iron
