Iron Bisglycinate Chelate and Polymaltose Iron for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Pilot Randomized Trial

Abstract Background: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is a major public health problem worldwide. Iron Bisglycinate Chelate (FeBC) and polymaltose iron (FeP) are used for the treatment of IDA and exhibit good tolerability with a low incidence of adverse effects. However,...

Trial Assessing the Efficacy of Iron Bisglycinate Chelate and Polymaltose Iron

Summary: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is a prevalent global health issue. Two commonly used treatments for IDA are Iron Bisglycinate Chelate (FeBC) and polymaltose iron (FeP). These treatments are well-tolerated by patients and have a low occurrence of adverse effects....

Safety and efficacy of iron(III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex / a review of over 25 years experience

Abstract The following review of iron(III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex (IPC, Maltofer) shows that iron is significantly bioavailable after oral administration, especially in iron-deficient subjects. Numerous clinical trials in men, women, children and infants have shown that IPC is effective in treating...

Effectiveness of iron polymaltose complex in treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is commonly treated with iron formulations. Despite the expanding acceptance of iron polymaltose complex (IPC) among clinicians, there is sparse and contradictory evidence regarding its efficacy in the management of IDA in children. This...
