Maltofer Fol

Folic acid and iron, the active ingredients in Maltofer Fol, are an iron and folic acid supplement presented as an oral formulation for oral use. They support hemoglobin synthesis and folate metabolism, helping to treat iron‑deficiency anemia and folate deficiency, particularly in women of childbearing age and patients with increased nutritional needs.

GNH USA supplies Maltofer Fol as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Maltofer Fol is used to address disorders of iron and folate metabolism. - Iron deficiency anemia: supports hemoglobin production and improves red blood cell count. - Folate deficiency: provides folic acid for DNA synthesis and normal cell division. - Pregnancy anemia: helps prevent anemia during pregnancy by supplying both iron and folic acid.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset after ingestion. - Abdominal discomfort: cramping or pain in the upper abdomen. - Constipation: reduced bowel movements, especially with iron. - Dark stools: harmless discoloration of feces. - Metallic taste: transient taste alteration. - Diarrhea: loose stools in some individuals.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Iron overload: signs include fatigue, joint pain, or organ dysfunction. - Hepatic injury: abnormal liver enzymes or jaundice. - Severe gastrointestinal bleeding: vomiting blood or black stools. - Agranulocytosis: markedly reduced white blood cell count.

Before using Maltofer Fol, consider the following precautions: - Assess iron status: confirm iron deficiency before initiating therapy. - Monitor folate levels: avoid excess folic acid in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency. - Drug interactions: separate administration from antacids or tetracyclines. - Gastrointestinal tolerance: start with a low dose if prone to upset stomach. - Storage: Store below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Maltofer Fol may interact with several medicines. Major Interactions (Avoid): - Tetracycline antibiotics: chelation reduces absorption of both agents. - Quinolone antibiotics: iron may decrease quinolone bioavailability. - Levothyroxine: iron can impair thyroid hormone absorption. - Calcium or magnesium antacids: form insoluble complexes with iron. - Proton pump inhibitors: may reduce iron absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Oral contraceptives: iron may affect hormone levels, monitor efficacy. - ACE inhibitors: monitor blood pressure as iron can affect renal function. - Antidiabetic drugs: iron may influence glucose metabolism, check blood sugar. - Vitamin C supplements: may increase iron absorption, watch for overload. - Anticoagulants: iron can affect platelet function, monitor clotting parameters.
