E-DRUG: E-drug: Oral Haemoglobin preps

----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three listed in Martindale 31st Ed, all in combination with other
agents. They are Aperop, Vitathion (Belgium) and Vitathion-ATP (Canada)

Aperop contains: Nux vomica, orange peel, kola, cinchona bark,
haemoglobin, iodine, tannic acid, calcium phosphate hydrochloride.
Vitathion contains: Ascorbic acid, glutathione, ATP, thiamine,
inositocalcium, and haemoglobin.
Vitathion-ATP contains: Ascorbic acid, ATP, calcium inositohexaphosphate,
glutathione, haemoglobin, magnesium inositohexaphosphate, thiamine.

As to efficacy - no info, but I have healthy skepticism. No indication of
total available iron and the use of oral iron is not very effective anyway.
