Polymalt

Polymalt (Iron(III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex) is 120ml, an Iron Syrup. It’s a special form of iron where tiny particles of iron (in the ferric form) are wrapped in a sugar-like coating called polymaltose. This coating makes the iron gentler on the stomach and helps the body absorb it slowly and safely.

Package Contains: Each package of Polymalt contains a 120ml syrup bottle & leaflet. It is also available in 100mg Chewable Tablets and 50mg/5ml Syrup.

Composition: Each 5ml contains:

Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex MS is equivalent to elemental iron 50mg.

Mfg. Specs: HIGH-Q

Dosage & Administration: As directed by the physician or see package insert for full prescribing information.

Uses: Polymalt syrup helps in:

• Iron deficiency anemia (due to blood loss, poor diet, or absorption issues).
• Anemia during pregnancy (to support the mother and baby’s increased iron needs).
• Iron deficiency in children (caused by growth spurts or poor dietary intake).
• Post-surgery or chronic illness recovery (where iron requirements are higher).
• Menstrual blood loss (to replace iron lost during heavy periods).

Dosage & Duration: The dose of therapy is dependent upon the extent of iron deficiency. The daily dose can be divided into separate doses or can be taken at once. In case of manifested iron deficiency, the therapy takes about 3-5 months until normalization of the hemoglobin value is achieved. Afterwards, the therapy should be continued for several weeks with a dosage such as described for latent iron deficiency to replenish the iron stores.

Side Effects: Common: Nausea or stomach discomfort. Constipation or diarrhea. Metallic taste. Mild nausea or vomiting.

Rare: Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling). Black/dark stools (harmless). Severe abdominal pain. Breathing difficulty (very rare).

Warnings & Precautions: In case of anemia due to infection or malignancy, the substituted iron is stored in the reticuloendothelial system from which it is mobilized and utilized.

Pregnancy & Lactation: Reproduction studies in animals did not show any fetal risk. Controlled studies of pregnant women after the first trimester have not shown any undesirable effects on the mother and fetus. There is no evidence of risk during the first trimester, and the possibility of a negative influence on the fetus is unlikely to occur.

Mother’s milk contains iron bound to lactoferrin. It is not known how much iron from the complex is passed into the mother’s milk. The administration of Polymalt is unlikely to cause any undesirable effects to the nursed child. During pregnancy and lactation, Polymalt should be used on prescription.
