Stop to give Maltofer, bcz it didn't contain Folic acid.
For iron deficiency anemia, along with iron, we also give folic acid.
Start to give Syp. Iberet 1tsf daily.
why 2 months old baby is anemic..need to investigate.dnt gve iron blindly
maltofer contains 50 mg of iron per 5 ml except that it contains ethanol but the efficacy is far more than it .I'm treating all blood diseases and we recommend the maltofer 3mg/ kg after meals not with milk for 3 months for iron deficiency anemia along with dietary modification
we can give tab .folic acid 1/4 daily along with iron maltofer also available in drops 20 drops equal to 1 ml and contains 50 mg of elemental iron

Giving such medications without a clear history, examination and appropriate investigations is NOT recommended. You can't routinely give Iron Syrup to anyone, let alone a young child.
I am really shocked that a lot of doctors here are recommending different types of medicines without knowing ALL relevant details. This practice has a potential to harm children health.
Advice to parents:
Please see attached qualified Paediatrician (child specialist) who can listen to your concerns, examine the child and may recommended certain tests. Depending on the assessment he may or may not suggest a medication.
Please DO NOT administer medications without consulting a Paediatrician, this is a very dangerous trend and must be discouraged.
Assalamualaikum. Iron bachon ki sehat aur brain development ke liye zaroori hai, lekin hamesha dose aur preparation bachay ki age, weight aur deficiency status ke mutabiq decide hoti hai.
? Maltofer ek commonly used iron supplement hai jo choti age ke bachon ke liye bhi available hai, lekin uski pediatric dose alag hoti hai. Google par jo avoid under 12 years likha hota hai wo zyada tar adult formulations ke liye hota hai, na ke pediatric syrup/drop form ke liye.
Meri salah yeh hai ke aap bachay ka ek simple blood test (CBC + ferritin) karwa lein. Agar deficiency confirm ho jaye to doctor correct dose aur duration decide karenge. Iron supplements unnecessary ya long-term bina monitoring ke dena constipation, stomach upset aur overdose risk create kar sakta hai.
Is liye proper video consultation karke hi supplement continue karein.
