Pharmacology: Iron is an essential constituent of the body necessary for haemoglobin formation and for the oxidative processes of living tissue.
Pharmacokinetics: Iron (III) hydroxide polymaltose complex is absorbed much slower than inorganic iron ions or iron from complexes eg, iron ascorbate and shows a different pharmacokinetic profile. The major difference between iron salts and the complex lies in the fact that they show totally different serum invasion and elimination kinetics, particularly in non-anaemic individuals.
