Indications
Ferric Maltol capsule is used to treat iron deficiency in adults.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Ferric Maltol supplies iron that is taken up across the intestinal wall and passed on to transferrin and ferritin. It has been shown to raise serum iron parameters, including ferritin and transferrin saturation (TSAT).
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Ferric maltol isn't absorbed into the body as an intact complex when it's taken by mouth, so a mother who uses it isn't expected to pass the drug on to her baby during pregnancy.
There are no data on whether ferric maltol appears in human milk. Nothing is known about its effects on a breastfed child or on milk production either. But because the mother doesn't absorb ferric maltol as an intact complex after taking it by mouth, breastfeeding isn't expected to expose the child to the drug.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
