Maltofer Fol is used to address disorders of iron and folate metabolism. - Iron deficiency anemia: restores hemoglobin levels and replenishes iron stores. - Folate deficiency: corrects low folate concentrations and supports DNA synthesis. - Pregnancy‑associated anemia: helps maintain adequate iron and folate for maternal and fetal health.

Adverse reactions may occur with oral iron‑folate combinations.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea or upset stomach. - Constipation or abdominal discomfort. - Darkened stools. - Metallic taste. - Diarrhea (less frequent). - Mild headache.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling. - Anaphylaxis (rare but life‑threatening). - Severe constipation leading to intestinal obstruction. - Iron overload, especially with prolonged high‑dose use. - Hepatic injury in susceptible individuals.

Before initiating therapy, consider the following precautions. - Assess iron status before initiating: confirm deficiency via laboratory tests. - Monitor hemoglobin and ferritin levels: adjust therapy based on response. - Avoid use in known hypersensitivity to iron or folic acid: discontinue if reaction occurs. - Use with caution in patients with inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorption: absorption may be impaired. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and light.

Maltofer Fol may interact with other medicines; consider the following.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: reduce iron absorption. - Tetracycline antibiotics: chelate iron, decreasing antibiotic efficacy. - Levothyroxine: iron may impair absorption; separate dosing by at least 4 hours.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Vitamin C supplements: may increase iron absorption, monitor for overload. - Proton pump inhibitors: may decrease iron absorption, monitor iron status. - Methotrexate: folic acid may reduce toxicity; dose adjustments may be needed.
