Posology: Dosage and duration of therapy are dependent upon the extent of iron deficiency.
Iron deficiency anaemia: the therapy takes about 3-5 months until a normalisation of the haemoglobin value is achieved. Afterwards the therapy should be continued for several weeks or for pregnant women, at least until the end of the pregnancy with a dosage such as described for iron deficiency without anaemia to replenish the iron stores.
Iron deficiency without anaemia: the therapy takes about 1-2 months. (See Table 1.)

Method of Administration: The daily dosage can be divided into separate doses or can be taken all at once. Maltofer syrup should be taken during or immediately after a meal. Maltofer syrup can be mixed with fruit and vegetable juices or with bottle-feed. The slight discolouration of the mixture does not affect either the efficacy of the product or the taste of the drink to which it is added. The supplied measuring cup is used for an exact administration of the dosage.
