Maltofer (Iron (Iii) Ion)

The polymaltose complex delivers elemental iron that is released in the gastrointestinal tract. The iron is then absorbed through the intestinal mucosa, incorporated into hemoglobin, and stored as ferritin, thereby increasing the body’s iron reserves and supporting red blood cell production.

The appropriate dose of Maltofer is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s iron status, age, weight, and clinical condition. The prescriber will select a regimen that safely restores iron levels while minimizing adverse effects.

Maltofer may be used during pregnancy or lactation only if the potential benefit outweighs any possible risk. Healthcare providers should evaluate the mother’s iron needs and monitor both maternal and fetal health when prescribing iron supplementation in these populations.

To order Maltofer, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.

Maltofer uses an iron (III) polymaltose complex, which is designed to provide gradual iron release and may cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared with simple ferrous salts. However, individual tolerance varies, and the choice of iron formulation should be guided by clinical response and patient preference.

Store Maltofer at below 25 °C in its original packaging, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, which could affect its stability and efficacy.

Maltofer is taken orally, usually with water or a non‑dairy beverage. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with a small amount of food may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Follow the prescribing clinician’s instructions regarding timing and any necessary dietary considerations.

Serious risks include hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis, as well as iron overload from excessive dosing. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience severe abdominal pain, swelling of the face or throat, or any signs of an allergic reaction.

Maltofer should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to iron (III) polymaltose complex or any of its excipients. It is also contraindicated in patients with iron overload disorders such as hemochromatosis, unless specifically directed by a physician.
