Ferric maltol（Cat No.:I016689）is an oral iron replacement therapy used to treat iron deficiency anemia, particularly in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or chronic conditions. The complex consists of ferric iron bound to maltol, which facilitates iron absorption while reducing gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with traditional iron supplements. Once absorbed, ferric maltol replenishes iron stores and improves hemoglobin levels. Its well-tolerated profile and effectiveness make it a valuable option for managing anemia in patients who may struggle with conventional oral iron therapies.
