About Iron Deficiency and Accrufer(R)/Feraccru(R)

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 anemia (IDA) affect about 20 million people in the US and represent a $2.3B market opportunity. As the first and only FDA approved oral iron to treat ID/IDA, Accrufer(R) has the potential to meet an important unmet medical need for both physicians and patients.

Accrufer(R)/Feraccru(R) (ferric maltol) is a novel, stable, non-salt-based oral therapy for adults with ID/IDA. Accrufer(R)/Feraccru(R) 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(R)/ Feraccru(R) , including the product label, can be found at: www.accrufer.com and www.feraccru.com .
