MALTOXY INJ 500mg/10ML VIAL

About

Maltoxy 50mg Injection is an iron replacement medicine used to treat iron-deficiency anemia, a condition in which the body has too few red blood cells due to insufficient iron. Iron is essential for producing red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.

Maltoxy 50mg Injection is administered by injection or infusion (saline drip) into a vein by a doctor or nurse. You will be closely monitored for any allergic reactions. The treatment is usually given in two doses, seven days apart, although your doctor will determine the exact dose and schedule based on your needs. Eating a balanced diet rich in iron, vitamins, and minerals can help restore your iron levels. Good sources of iron include meat, eggs, raisins, broccoli, and lentils.

Common side effects include vomiting, headache, dizziness, high blood pressure, and pain or irritation at the injection site. These side effects typically resolve shortly after the injection. If they persist or cause concern, contact your doctor or nurse. This medicine should not be used for anemia caused by conditions other than iron deficiency.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, or liver problems, as these may affect your therapy. The safety of Maltoxy 50mg Injection during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not established, so consult your doctor. Blood tests will be performed to monitor your blood cells, iron levels, and overall progress, as well as to check for side effects. Limiting alcohol during treatment may also be advisable.
