Iron polymaltose complex

Iron(III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex is a medication used to treat iron deficiency / iron deficiency anemia and belongs to the group of oral iron preparations. The preparation is a macromolecular complex, consisting of iron(III)-hydroxide (trivalent iron, Fe³⁺) and the carrier polymaltose and is available in solid form as a film coated or chewable tablet and in liquid form as a syrup, drinkable solution, or drops. It is used for treating iron deficiency without anemia (latent iron deficiency) or with anemia (apparent iron deficiency). Prior to administration the iron deficiency should be diagnostically established and verified via laboratory tests (e.g low ferritin concentration  low transferrin saturation).
