PHARMACOLOGY

 • SODIUM CACODYLATE: It is an arsenical salt that stimulates metabolism, stimulates appetite, and has a growth-promoting effect in animals.

• FERRIC AMMONIUM CITRATE: 60 to 70% of body Fe is found in the hemoglobin of erythrocytes or red blood cells and in the myoglobin of muscles, as well as in hemoenzymes, cytochromes, catalases, and peroxidases in the form of a heme group. 

• COBALT ACETATE: It is a constituent of vitamin B12, and it is also capable of stimulating red blood cell production (polycythemia). It is evident that the mechanism is due to anoxia production, possibly by compounds that combine with the SH group, and erythrocyte synthesis is a compensatory response.

VITAMIN B12 (CYANOCOBALAMIN): It functions as a coenzyme in several important enzyme systems; it also intervenes in thyroid function, in the myelination of the sciatic nerve and spinal cord, and prevents megaloblastic anemia.

• COPPER SULFATE (PENTAHYDRATE): 90% of blood Cu is combined with alpha 2-globulin, ceruloplasmin, and 10% in erythrocytes in the form of erythrocuprein; Cu is necessary for the activity of enzymes related to Fe metabolism, the formation of elastin and collagen, melanin production, and the integrity of the central nervous system; it is needed for normal erythrocyte formation (hematopoiesis), as well as for normal bone formation, and normal hair and wool pigmentation.
