Abstract
FERNANDEZ DELGADO, Norma et al. Treatment with trofin in children who do not tolerate iron salts. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2000, vol.16, n.2, pp. 115-121. ISSN 1561-2996.
Treatment with Trofin, a Cuban-made natural product with anti-anemic properties, was given to 14 children aged 6-36 months of age suffering from iron deficiency anemia, who do not assimilate oral iron salts. Adequate levels of hemoglobin figures were observed to be restored in 80% of the cases. 36% of patients showed minor adverse reactions without interrupting the treatment. Trofin is an effective alternative in treating this nutritional disorder in patients who do not tolerate iron salts
