View company portfolio →What Acefer (Iron polymaltose complex) is used for
Iron polymaltose complex is a form of iron medicine. The iron is joined to a sugar-like carbohydrate, which makes it different from the more common 'ferrous' iron tablets. Your body needs iron to make haemoglobin, the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. It comes as tablets, syrup and drops taken by mouth, and also as an injection into the muscle that is only given by a doctor or nurse.
- Treating iron deficiency (low iron) in adults and teenagers, when ordinary ferrous iron tablets cause too many side effects or are not suitable
- Preventing iron deficiency in adults and teenagers who are at high risk of it, under the same conditions
- The injection is used for iron deficiency anaemia when iron by mouth cannot be used or does not get absorbed properly, for example because of gut problems
Get medical help straight away if
- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing or struggling to breathe, or fainting. With the injection, a reaction can sometimes be delayed.
- If a child (or anyone else) may have swallowed too much iron, get emergency help straight away, even if they seem well. Iron overdose is one of the leading causes of fatal poisoning in young children.
- Contact a doctor if you get hives or a rash, muscle spasms or muscle pain, or any side effect that is severe or not listed in the leaflet.
