Warnings
WARNING: Accidental overdose of Iron-containing products is the leading cause of fatal poisoning of children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately. Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B 12 is deficient. CONTRAINDICATIONS: PureVit DualFe Plus is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients; also, all iron compounds are contraindicated in patients with hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, or hemolytic anemias.
