정의Iron(II) gluconate (a ferrous gluconate) is used to treat hypochromic anemia. The real problem of iron therapy is not the theoretical utilization of iron, the reticulocyte response, or even the daily increase of hemoglobin. These are important only as they indicate the return of the patients' blood to normal in a reasonably short time without undue inconvenience. Most patients suffering from hypochromic anemia respond well to most forms of iron when administered in adequate dosage. For patients who cannot tolerate the usual iron compounds, it is essential to have a medication that is effective and causes minimum disturbance. Ferrous gluconate is such a medicament.
