30'S MALTOFER TABLET

Treatment of iron deficiency without anaemia and iron deficiency anaemia. Prophylactic therapy of iron deficiency during pregnancy. Dosage / Direction for Use Posology: Dosage and duration of therapy are dependent upon the extent of iron deficiency. Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in children over 12 years and adults: 100 mg to 300 mg iron (1-3 chewable tablets) daily for 3-5 months until normalisation of the haemoglobin value is achieved. Afterwards, the therapy should be continued for several weeks with 1 chewable tablet daily to replenish the iron stores. Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy: 200 mg to 300 mg iron (2-3 tablets) daily until normalisation of the haemoglobin value is achieved. Afterwards, the therapy should be continued with 1 chewable tablet daily at least until the end of the pregnancy to replenish the iron stores and to supplement the increased iron need during pregnancy. Treatment and prevention of iron deficiency without anaemia in children over 12 years and adults: 100 mg iron (1 chewable tablet) once daily for 1-2 months. If a smaller dose is required for prevention, Maltofer syrup can be used. Maltofer chewable tablets are not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Maltofer syrup and drops are in a more suitable form (and concentration) for administration of the recommended dosages to infants and children under 12 years of age. Method of Administration: The daily dosage can be divided into separate doses or can be taken all at once. Maltofer chewable tablets can be chewed or swallowed whole and should be taken during or immediately after a meal. Overdosage In cases of overdose, iron overload or intoxication is unlikely with Maltofer due to the low toxicity of iron(III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex (i.e., in mice or rats: lethal dose, 50% (LD50) >2,000 mg Fe/kg body weight) and controlled uptake of iron. No cases of accidental poisoning with fatal outcome have been reported. Chocolate flavour Iron supplement for anaemia Suitable for pregnant lady
