Ferric maltol(CAT: I016689) represents an orally active complex consisting of a single ferric ion (Fe3+) bound to maltol, a chelating agent. This compound holds promise as a treatment for iron deficiency anemia, particularly in the context of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). By providing a bioavailable source of iron, ferric maltol aims to address the iron deficiency that commonly arises in individuals with IBD due to impaired absorption and chronic inflammation.
