Description of Ferric Maltol
Ferric maltol is a chemical compound used as an iron supplement. Ferric maltol, formally named (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyronato)iron(III), is a coordination complex containing iron(III) centrally chelated by a maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone) ligand. This complexation enhances the solubility and bioavailability of iron compared to inorganic iron salts. The iron center exhibits octahedral geometry, coordinated with six oxygen atoms – three from the maltol ligand and three water molecules. This unique structure allows for controlled iron release and minimizes the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with traditional iron supplements. West bengal chemical is now proud patent holder of Ferric Maltol.
Application of Ferric Maltol
- Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Treatment of Iron-Deficiency Anemia
- Increased Iron Absorption
- Reducing Fatigue and Anemia Symptoms
Medical uses/benefits of Ferric Maltol
- Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA): Used to treat iron deficiency anemia in adults with chronic inflammatory diseases like in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Used in patients with CKD who are non-dialysis dependent
- Better Tolerability: Have better gastrointestinal tolerability compared to traditional oral iron supplements.
- Reduces side effects like nausea, constipation, and abdominal pain
- Enhanced Absorption: Allows for better absorption of iron in the gastrointestinal tract
- Improve iron levels more efficiently
Oral dosage form (capsules):
- For adults—30 mg twice a day for at least 4 months.
- For children—Use and dose must be determined by healthcare professionals.
Side effects
Common side effects of Ferric Maltol include nausea, abdominal pain, and changes in stool color. More severe reactions can involve hypersensitivity and iron overload. So, it is always advisable to take its dosage as per doctor’s suggestion.
While India boasts many API manufacturers, West Bengal Chemical Industries stands out as a top Ferric Maltol exporter. Our product delivers efficient iron absorption with superior tolerability, minimizing the side effects often associated with iron supplements.
The melting point of ferric maltol is approximately 302.8°C (±0.5°C).
Ferric maltol offers various advantages, particularly for patients with iron deficiency anemia. Here are the key benefits:
- Improved Tolerability
- Enhanced Absorption
- Lower Risk of Iron Overload
- No Need for Acidic Environment
Ferric maltol can start to show improvements in iron levels and symptoms of iron deficiency anemia relatively quickly.

Yes! Ferric Maltol is safe if it takes as prescribed
Ferric maltol, as a substance, is typically reddish-brown in color.
The generic name for ferric maltol is simply ferric maltol.
Yes! WBCIL’s ferric maltol is approved.
Uses of Ferric Maltol in Pharmaceutical Industries:
- Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA): Effective in replenishing iron stores and improving hemoglobin levels, especially in patients with chronic conditions.
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Provides a well-tolerated option to manage anemia, maintaining adequate iron levels.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Ideal for treating IBD-related anemia due to its gentle action on the gastrointestinal tract.
- Superior Bioavailability: Requires lower doses for therapeutic effects, reducing the risk of iron overload.
- Minimized Side Effects: Reduces gastrointestinal irritation, improving patient compliance and comfort.
