IRON III HYDROXIDE POLYMALTOSE
Description
Overview
Iron(III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex (IPC) is a non-ionic macromolecular iron complex formed by iron(III) hydroxide and partially hydrolyzed polymaltose. WBCIL's IPC is a high-purity, low-toxicity iron source specifically developed to improve tolerability in iron-deficiency treatments across all age groups.
Key Features
Gentle on the Gastrointestinal Tract
IPC is non-ionic and slow-releasing, which significantly reduces typical side effects of iron supplements such as nausea, constipation, and metallic taste.
Excellent Absorption Profile
Delivers bioavailable trivalent iron via gradual uptake by intestinal mucosa—mimicking natural iron absorption without overloading the gut.
Highly Stable & Water-Soluble
Offers superior stability in syrup and suspension formulations, making it ideal for pediatric and geriatric use. Available in powder or granule form, suitable for solid and liquid dosage forms.
Versatile Pharmaceutical Applications
Widely used in iron syrups, tablets, capsules, and oral drops, particularly for treating mild to moderate iron-deficiency anemia in children, women, and the elderly.
