Pharma Tips-319

1611. Ferrous sulfate (dry) desiccated contains 30% of elemental iron.
1612. Ferrous gluconate contains 12% of elemental iron.
1613. Ferrous fumarate contains 33% of elemental iron. 
1614. Lasix (furosemide) reduces excess sodium and water (decreases venous return to the heart, decreasing preload), recommended for heart failure with oedema, and it has an indirect dilating effect on the lungs (useful in pulmonary congestion).
1615. ACEIs reduce the preload (venous return) by decreasing aldosterone secretion (increasing Na and H2O secretion) and reducing the afterload (vasodilation) by decreasing angiotensin II formation (potent vasoconstrictor).
