Maltofer Syrup 150ml

Maltofer Syrup is an oral iron supplement, with iron(III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex as its active ingredient, formulated as a liquid to help correct low iron levels. If you're starting this for the first time, you're probably wondering how it compares to other iron supplements — it's generally gentler on the stomach than traditional ferrous iron products, and can be taken with food, which is a helpful difference since many older iron formulations need to be taken on an empty stomach. Some people experience mild effects such as stool discolouration, nausea, or indigestion, though constipation tends to be less common with this formulation compared to standard iron salts. It's meant to be taken consistently over several months, since correcting iron deficiency and rebuilding your body's iron stores takes time, often continuing for a while even after your iron levels return to normal. Because iron supplementation needs to be tailored to your specific deficiency and monitored over time, it's worth having your dosage and duration confirmed by your doctor, along with periodic blood tests to track your progress.

The dose depends on the degree of iron deficiency and body weight, and should be confirmed with your doctor or pharmacist. As a general guide, adults typically take the equivalent of 100–200mg elemental iron (about 10–20mL) daily, while children's doses are calculated by weight. Treatment is usually continued for at least 8–12 weeks to replenish iron stores, even after symptoms improve.

Store the syrup at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, with the cap tightly closed after each use. Keep out of reach of children, as iron supplements can be harmful if taken in excess by young children.

• Take with or immediately after food for comfortable tolerability
• Mix with fruit or vegetable juice if preferred, without affecting effectiveness
• Check the expiry date before use
• Store at room temperature, away from heat and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children, as iron overdose can be dangerous
• Attend follow-up blood tests as advised by your doctor to monitor your progress
• Don't be alarmed by darker stools, as this is a normal and expected effect
• Continue treatment for the full duration recommended by your doctor, even after symptoms improve

Maltofer Syrup is taken orally, preferably during or immediately after a meal, and can be mixed with fruit or vegetable juice if preferred, without affecting its taste or effectiveness. The total daily dose can be taken all at once or divided into smaller doses throughout the day, as directed by your doctor.

Maltofer Syrup generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer packaging before use.

• Iron(III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex – a well-tolerated form of oral iron used to treat and prevent iron deficiency

• Known hypersensitivity to iron polymaltose or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Iron overload conditions, such as haemochromatosis or haemosiderosis
• Disturbances in iron utilisation, such as thalassaemia or sideroachrestic anaemia
• Anaemia not caused by iron deficiency, such as haemolytic or megaloblastic anaemia
• Should not be taken at the same time as injectable iron medicines
• Contains ethanol, which is worth noting for individuals who need to avoid alcohol

Unlike traditional iron salts, Maltofer's absorption is not significantly affected by food, and no major interactions with other medications or foods are currently known. It should not be administered at the same time as injectable (parenteral) iron preparations, and it's still good practice to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications and supplements you're taking.
