About Iron Deficiency and
Accrufer®/Feraccru®
Clinically low iron levels (aka iron
deficiency, ID) can cause serious health problems for adults of all
ages, across multiple therapeutic areas. Together, ID and ID with
anaemia (IDA) affect about 20 million people in the U.S. and
represent a $2.3B market opportunity. As the first and only FDA
approved oral iron to treat ID/IDA, Accrufer® has the potential to
meet an important unmet medical need for both physicians and
patients.
Accrufer®/Feraccru® (ferric maltol)
is a novel, stable, non-salt-based oral therapy for adults with
ID/IDA. Accrufer®/Feraccru®
has a novel mechanism of absorption compared to
other oral iron therapies and has been shown to be an efficacious
and well-tolerated therapy in a range of clinical trials. More
information about Accrufer®/Feraccru®, including the product
label, can be found at: www.accrufer.com and www.feraccru.com.
