Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.

1. What Ferrocur 40 mg Oral Solution is and what it is used for

Ferrocur is a medicine that provides iron to red blood cells, treating iron deficiency states and curing anemia (reduction of hemoglobin levels and the number and size of red blood cells) due to this iron deficiency.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. Before taking Ferrocur 40 mg Oral Solution

Do not take Ferrocur:

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to Iron Proteinsuccinylate or any of the other components of Ferrocur.
  • If you are allergic to milk proteins.
  • If you have any disease that causes iron accumulation in the body (hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis).
  • If you have pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) or liver cirrhosis (a chronic liver disease characterized by the formation of fibrosis or "scars" in liver tissue that alter its structure and normal function) due to iron accumulation.
  • If you have anemia due to causes other than iron deficiency.

Be especially careful with Ferrocur:

  • Before starting treatment with this medicine, if you have anemia or iron deficiency, consult your doctor.

Use of other medicines:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, or have recently used, other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

Ferrocur may reduce the intestinal absorption and therefore the effect of some medicines, such as:

  • Antibiotics, such as quinolones and tetracyclines.
  • Bisphosphonates, used in patients with osteoporosis (loss and weakening of bones).
  • Penicillamine, used for arthritis (inflammation of the joints).
  • Alpha-methyldopa, used to treat high blood pressure.
  • Thyroxine, used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland).
  • Levodopa and carbidopa, used to treat Parkinson's disease.
  • Myphenolate mofetil, used to prevent transplant rejection.

The intestinal absorption of iron and therefore the efficacy of Ferrocur may be reduced if taken with the following medicines, so you should wait at least 2 hours between taking any of these medicines and taking Ferrocur:

  • Antacids, normally used in patients with gastric acidity.
  • Chloramphenicol (antibiotic).
  • Colestyramine, used in patients with high cholesterol.
  • Medicines for the treatment of stomach ulcers or esophageal reflux, such as omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole.

Interference with diagnostic tests:

This medicine may interfere with laboratory tests for the investigation of occult blood in feces.

Taking Ferrocur with food and drinks:

Some plant-based foods, milk, coffee, and tea reduce iron absorption, so it is recommended not to take Ferrocur during the 2 hours following consumption of any of these foods.

The simultaneous ingestion of freshly squeezed citrus juices (orange, lemon, etc.) may enhance the absorption of iron derivatives.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding:

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

Ferrocur is particularly indicated in iron deficiency states that occur during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so no special precautions are necessary.

Driving and using machines:

No effects have been observed on the ability to drive and use machines.

Important information about some of the components of Ferrocur:

This medicine contains 1400 mg of sorbitol per vial.

Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has told you that you (or your child) have an intolerance to certain sugars, or you have been diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), a rare genetic disease in which the patient cannot break down fructose, consult your doctor before taking this medicine. Sorbitol may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and a mild laxative effect.

This medicine contains 61.1 mg of propylene glycol in each vial, equivalent to 4.1 mg/ml. If the baby is less than 4 weeks old, consult your doctor or pharmacist, especially if the baby has been given other medicines that contain propylene glycol or alcohol.

This medicine contains 38.4 mg of sodium (main component of table salt/cooking salt) in each vial. This is equivalent to 1.9% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.

Ferrocur may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed) because it contains propyl parahydroxybenzoate, sodium salt (E-217) and methyl parahydroxybenzoate, sodium salt (E-219).

3. How to take Ferrocur 40 mg Oral Solution

Follow the administration instructions of Ferrocur indicated by your doctor. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any doubts. Remember to take your medicine.

If you think the effect of Ferrocur is too strong or too weak, tell your doctor or pharmacist.

If you take more Ferrocur than you should:

If you take more Ferrocur than you should, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service: Telephone 91 562 04 20.
