Overview
•Iron polymaltose 100 mg elemental iron per tablet is a standard therapeutic dose for adults/adolescents with iron deficiency; generally well-tolerated with lower rates of GI effects (nausea, constipation, vomiting) than ferrous sulfate.
•Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, and stool discolouration (less blackening than ferrous salts).
•Contraindicated in iron overload (e.g. haemochromatosis), non-iron deficiency anaemia, or known hypersensitivity to iron polymaltose or excipients.
•May reduce absorption of certain antibiotics or thyroid medications; separate dosing by 2-4 hours.
•Not recommended for children under 12 without medical supervision; keep out of reach of children due to overdose risk.
