SOLUTION

**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 in order to replenish the iron stores. Iron deficiency without anaemia: the therapy takes about 1–2 months. **Table 1 Dosage of Maltofer® Oral Drops According to Age**  **Table 2 Dosage of Maltofer® Oral Drops According to Body Weight**  **Method of administration** The daily dosage can be divided into separate doses or can be taken all at once. Maltofer® drops should be taken during or immediately after a meal. Maltofer® drops 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. To ensure accurate dosing of Maltofer® drops, the bottle needs to be held upside down and vertical. The drops should flow immediately. If this does not happen, tap the bottle gently until a drop forms. Do not shake the bottle.
