Description: Maltofer Iron syrup is for the treatment of dietary iron deficiency in adults/ adolescents where the use of ferrous iron supplements is not tolerated or is otherwise inappropriate.
It has fewer and milder side effects compared to ferrous iron supplements, therefore you experience lesser nausea and constipation, while still getting an effective dose of iron.
