View company portfolio →What Acefer-F (Iron polymaltose complex + folic acid) is used for
This is a combination of two ingredients. Iron polymaltose complex (IPC) is a form of iron in which the iron is in its ferric form, held in a complex with polymaltose. It is a different type of iron from ferrous salts such as ferrous sulfate. The body needs iron to make haemoglobin, the part of red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Folic acid is a man-made form of vitamin B9 (folate). It helps the body make healthy red blood cells, and in early pregnancy it helps the baby's brain, skull and spine develop. Combinations like this are used to treat or prevent low iron and low folate, especially in pregnancy. A doctor should check the cause of anaemia with a blood test first.
- Iron deficiency anaemia (low red blood cells because of low iron), once a doctor has confirmed it with a blood test
- Preventing and treating low iron and low folate in pregnancy. WHO recommends iron and folic acid supplements as a routine part of antenatal care, to lower the risk of anaemia in the mother, iron deficiency, and a low birth weight baby
- Folic acid in early pregnancy, and ideally before getting pregnant, lowers the risk of serious problems in the baby's brain and spine, such as spina bifida
- Folate deficiency anaemia (low folate levels in the blood)
Get medical help straight away if
- If a child swallows iron tablets or liquid by accident, get emergency help straight away, even if the child seems well. An iron overdose can kill a young child.
- Call an ambulance for signs of a severe allergic reaction: sudden swelling of the lips, mouth, throat or tongue, fast or difficult breathing, a tight throat, blue, grey or pale skin or lips, sudden confusion or dizziness, or fainting. A child may become floppy or not respond normally.
- Get urgent medical advice if your poo is black and tar-like, or red, or has blood in or on it. Dark poo is common with iron, but these signs can mean bleeding.
- Get medical advice if you have a swollen, raised, itchy, blistered or peeling rash.
