Ferric Maltol

Ferric Maltol is an oral iron complex combining ferric iron (Fe³⁺) with maltol, a naturally occurring organic compound. This complex enhances iron solubility and absorption while improving gastrointestinal tolerability compared to conventional oral iron salts. Ferric Maltol delivers iron efficiently through the intestinal mucosa, while maltol acts as a stabilizing ligand that limits free iron-related irritation. It is particularly suitable for patients who cannot tolerate traditional oral iron therapies. Key Features: • Improved oral iron absorption • Reduced gastrointestinal side effects • Stable ferric–organic complex Applications: • Iron Deficiency Anemia • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) • Patients Intolerant to Conventional Oral Iron
