WHAT FERACCRU

Feraccru contains iron (as ferric maltol). Feraccru is used in adults
to treat low iron stores in your body.
Low iron causes anaemia (too few red blood cells).
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE FERACCRU
DO NOT TAKE FERACCRU:
-
If you are allergic to ferric maltol or any of the other ingredients
of this medicine (listed in section 6).
-
If you have any illness causing iron overload or a disturbance in how
your body uses iron.
-
If you have received multiple blood transfusions.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Before starting treatment, your doctor will use a blood test to make
sure that your anaemia is not severe or
caused by anything other than iron deficiency (low iron stores).
You should avoid taking Feraccru if you are experiencing a “flare”
of your IBD.
CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Do not give Feraccru to children or adolescents 17 years and under as
it has not been studied in this age
group. Too much iron is dangerous in young children and can be
life-threatening.

has not yet been established. No
data are available (see section 4.4).
_The elderly and patients with hepatic or renal impairment _
No dose adjustment is needed in elderly patients. No clinical data on

patients with impaired hepatic or renal function are available (see
section 4.4).
_ _
Method of administration
Oral use.
