DESCRIPTION: Ferimac Drops is a specialized nutritional supplement that combines Iron (III)-Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex to address iron deficiencies. Iron(III)-hydroxide Polymaltose Complex (IPC) is an iron preparation with non-ionic Iron and Polymaltose in a stable complex. Conventional iron salts contain iron in ferrous form, Iron Polymaltose Complex contains Iron in ferric form, thus preventing the formation of free radicals. It has rapid absorption, a high rate of iron utilization, effective haemoglobin production and excellent gastrointestinal tolerance.

Mechanism of Action: Iron in Ferimac Drops exist as iron (III)- hydroxide complex, where individual particles are embedded into a carbohydrate polymer (polymaltose). This prevents the iron from causing any harm in the gastrointestinal system. The Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose complex (IPC) is a water-soluble iron oxide, macromolecular complex of polynuclear iron (III) hydroxide that has distinct advantages over conventional iron preparations. As opposed to conventional iron salts that contain iron in ferrous form. Iron polymaltose complex contains iron in ferric form, ferrous releases an electron in the gastrointestinal tract before converting into ferric from. This electron is responsible for the formation of free radicals. Since iron is present in ferric form in iron polymaltose complex free radical do not form. Ferimac Drops an effective solution for preventing and treating anemia, promoting optimal growth, and supporting overall well-being, especially in individuals with increased iron requirements. The syrup form enhances convenience and ease of administration.
