Maltofer Syrup Oral Iron Liquid 150mL (S2)

Maltofer Syrup is an oral iron supplement designed to help prevent and treat dietary iron deficiency in adults and children. It contains iron polymaltose, a non-ionic form of iron that is gentle on the stomach, well absorbed, and less likely to cause constipation compared to traditional iron salts.

This 150mL liquid syrup is ideal for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or prefer a liquid format. Maltofer Syrup can be taken with food or drinks and does not interact significantly with dietary components, making it easier to incorporate into everyday routines.

As a Pharmacy Medicine (S2), Maltofer Syrup is available from pharmacies with professional guidance to ensure safe and effective use.
