Maltofer

Iron polymaltose complex, the active ingredient in Maltofer, is an iron supplement presented as an oral solution for oral use. It provides elemental iron to support hemoglobin synthesis and replenish iron stores, thereby treating iron deficiency anemia and preventing iron deficiency in patients with increased physiological demand or dietary insufficiency.

GNH USA supplies Maltofer as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides regulatory support for global distribution.

Maltofer is an iron supplement used to address conditions related to iron deficiency. - Iron deficiency anemia: restores hemoglobin levels and alleviates fatigue. - Prevention of iron deficiency: maintains adequate iron stores in at‑risk groups such as pregnant women, children, or patients with chronic blood loss. - Support during increased physiological demand: supplies iron for growth, development, or recovery after surgery.

Maltofer may cause adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Abdominal discomfort - Constipation - Diarrhea - Darkened stools - Metallic taste

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) - Severe abdominal pain - Persistent vomiting - Anaphylaxis - Hemolysis in susceptible individuals - Iron overload with prolonged high dosing

When using Maltofer, consider the following precautions: - Dose adjustment: tailor dose for children, elderly, or patients with renal/hepatic impairment. - Medical history: assess for existing iron overload disorders such as hemochromatosis. - Concurrent conditions: monitor patients with inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorption. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefit outweighs risk; consult a healthcare provider. - Drug interactions: avoid concomitant use with tetracyclines or quinolones that may chelate iron. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Maltofer can interact with several medicines; interactions are grouped by clinical significance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Tetracycline antibiotics: chelation reduces absorption of both agents. - Quinolone antibiotics: chelation decreases effectiveness of the antibiotics. - Levothyroxine: iron impairs absorption; separate dosing by at least 4 hours.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Vitamin C supplements: may increase iron absorption, raising risk of overload. - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: may reduce iron uptake. - Proton‑pump inhibitors (e.g., omeprazole): lower gastric acidity, potentially decreasing iron absorption.
