Information
Feraccru, known generically as ferric maltol, is an oral iron therapy designed to treat iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in patients for whom traditional oral iron treatments have proven ineffective or intolerable. Unlike conventional iron supplements that can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation or nausea, Feraccru offers a novel approach to iron supplementation. Its unique formulation allows for the gradual and sustained release of iron, minimizing gastrointestinal discomfort and enhancing absorption. This makes Feraccru a valuable option for patients needing iron supplementation but who are unable to tolerate other forms of oral iron therapy. It is particularly useful for individuals with chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or those who have had bariatric surgery, providing a critical tool in managing and improving their quality of life.
