Description
Maltofer syrup is an oral iron supplement containing iron polymaltose (100 mg of iron per 10 mL). It is used to treat and prevent iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. It is highly favored because it is absorbed in a controlled manner, resulting in significantly less constipation, nausea, and stomach irritation than traditional ferrous iron supplements. [1, 2, 3]
