What is Accrufer 30 mg (and what is it used for)?
Accrufer 30 mg is a prescription medicine containing ferric maltol. It’s used to treat iron deficiency in people who need oral iron therapy, including some patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond well to other forms of iron (the exact eligible patient groups depend on local prescribing guidance and availability of product labeling).
What strength does “30 mg” refer to?
The “30 mg” refers to the dose strength of ferric maltol per tablet (30 mg). This is the single-strength presentation referenced by the product name used by some retailers and prescribing systems.
How is Accrufer typically taken (dose timing and meals)?
Accrufer is generally taken by mouth on a schedule set by a clinician. Iron absorption can be affected by food and other medicines, so the prescribing information usually includes specific instructions about when to take it relative to meals and whether to avoid certain co-administered products.
What side effects are patients asking about?
Common concerns with oral iron products—and therefore commonly asked about with ferric maltol—include gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach discomfort, nausea, constipation, or diarrhea. If you tell me your age and the reason it was prescribed, I can help map the most relevant side-effect questions to what’s typical for this class.
Are there drug interactions (with other medicines or supplements)?
Iron products can interact with other drugs and supplements that affect absorption (for example, some antibiotics, thyroid hormone, and mineral supplements). The exact interaction list depends on the approved product labeling where you are.
