Actions and SpectrumÂ
Ferric sulfate is primarily used as a hemostatic agent in various medical procedures. Direct application of ferric sulfate to the injured tissue results in the hemostatic effect. The formation of ferric ion-protein complexes by ferric sulfate helps in the mechanical sealing of damaged vessels.Â

Caution:Â
Pregnancy consideration:Â
Pregnancy category: N/AÂ
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown Â
Pregnancy Categories:        Â
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.Â
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women. Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.Â
Pharmacology Â
The synthesis of hemoglobin and myoglobin requires elemental iron, which can be found in ferric sulfate. These are the proteins which body uses to carry and store oxygen.Â
PharmacodynamicsÂ
Iron from ferric sulfate binds to protoporphyrin, forming heme, which is incorporated into hemoglobin and myoglobin. Â
These proteins are involved in the binding and release of oxygen, facilitating its transport to tissues and storage in muscles.Â
PharmacokineticsÂ
Limited information available on ADME.Â
AdministrationÂ
Ferric sulfate is available in Gel, liquid, and solution form for topical use.

Generic Name: ferric sulfateÂ
Why do we use ferric sulfate?Â
Ferric sulfate is indicated as a hemostatic and coagulative agent. Â
In restorative dentistry, ferric sulfate is used as a hemostatic reagent, an antibacterial agent, and as pulpotomy medication to control pulpal bleeding.Â
