Iron polymaltose complex is a type of iron supplement used to treat iron deficiency anemia. It consists of iron and a complex carbohydrate called maltose, which helps to stabilize the iron and improve its absorption in the body.
Iron deficiency anemia occurs when the body does not have enough iron to produce an adequate number of red blood cells. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and pale skin.
Iron polymaltose complex provides a well-tolerated and easily absorbed form of iron, making it an effective treatment for iron deficiency anemia. It is typically administered orally in the form of tablets or liquid suspension.
