Maltofer Syrup is an oral iron supplement formulated with iron polymaltose, a carbohydrate-iron complex, designed for adults and adolescents who need a flexible, well‑tolerated option when ferrous iron tablets are unsuitable. Each 10 mL dose provides 100 mg of elemental iron, making it easy to tailor therapy under a clinician’s guidance.

• Active ingredient and dosage: 100 mg elemental iron per 10 mL dose, supplied as 370 mg iron polymaltose; dosing can be 10–20 mL per day (100–200 mg iron) based on individual needs.
• Product form and size: 150 mL bottle of oral liquid (syrup) for flexible dosing and easier administration.
• Administration guidance: Take with meals to improve tolerability and absorption, as advised by your healthcare professional.
• Who it’s for: Suitable for adults and adolescents (12 years and older) with iron deficiency when ferrous iron supplements are not tolerated or inappropriate.
• Tolerability and safety considerations: May cause stomach upset or changes in stool color in some individuals; regular monitoring of iron status (e.g., ferritin) is recommended by a healthcare provider.

Benefits: By delivering iron as a carbohydrate complex, Maltofer Syrup is formulated to support normal iron stores and the body’s oxygen transport system while accommodating patients who have difficulty tolerating ferrous iron tablets. The syrup format offers practical daily dosing and can be adjusted under medical supervision to maintain iron levels over time, making it a convenient alternative to tablet forms for suitable patients.
