Acufer Capsule 30 mg contains Ferric Maltol, an oral iron replacement medicine used to treat iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adults. Ferric Maltol is a stable complex of ferric iron and maltol that enhances iron absorption while minimizing gastrointestinal irritation commonly associated with traditional oral iron supplements.

Iron is an essential mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, and reduced physical performance. Acufer Capsule helps replenish the body's iron stores, improve hemoglobin levels, and restore normal red blood cell production, making it an effective treatment for patients with iron deficiency, including those with chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

How Acufer Capsule Works

Ferric Maltol delivers iron in a stable ferric form that is absorbed efficiently in the small intestine. Once absorbed, the iron is utilized by the body to produce hemoglobin and healthy red blood cells.

The maltol component helps transport iron across the intestinal lining, improving absorption while reducing direct exposure of free iron to the gastrointestinal tract. This may lower the risk of stomach irritation compared with some conventional oral iron preparations.
