If your doctor recommended maltofer, it's best to continue with his recommendations.
Over the counter iron supplements (like ours) are generally looked to help maintain iron levels, rather than treating someone who has been diagnosed by a healthcare professional to have chronic iron deficiency or anemia.
Maltofer provides a much higher dose of Iron (100mg) compared to our supplement (24mg).
And it can be quite common to get constipation when on a high dose of Iron.
If that's the case, it might be worth speaking to your doctor to discuss an alternative.
