Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Patients of 18 years and above with iron deficiency anaemia (haemoglobin [Hb] =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Iron overload (e.g., haemochromatosis, haemosiderosis). • Disturbances in iron utilisation (e.g., lead anaemia, sidero achrestic anaemia, thalassaemia). • Anaemia not caused by iron deficiency (e.g., aplastic, megaloblastic or haemolytic anaemia). • Anaemia related to blood loss, haemoglobinopathies, rheumatic and other chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases, malignancies, bone marrow diseases, enzyme defects and drug induced anaemia. • Known hypersensitivity to iron polymaltose complex film-coated tablets (Maltofer® Fol film-coated tablets) or to iron sulphate or to any excipients. • Participation in another clinical study during the study and 4 weeks prior to the study. • Preeclampsia. • Acute infectious diseases, parasitosis. • Tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen as confirmed by prior assessment at beginning of pregnancy (if prior assessments are not available, tests for HIV and HBs have to be performed at screening). • History of alcohol or drug abuse. • Non-responder to oral iron products. • Severe diseases of liver, kidney, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, psychological disorders and other which in the investigator’s opinion makes participation in study unacceptable. • Intake of iron-containing preparations (including multi-vitamin preparations containing iron), 14 days prior to the first dosing day or intake of iron-containing preparations other than the study medication during the study.
