Overview

DESCRIPTION PaxLyte is an orally administered prescription vitamin for therapeutic use formulated for patients who are under specific direction and monitoring of homocysteine (HCY) status by a physician. It is specifically formulated for patients with deficiencies in folate and vitamin B 12 , including those with genetic polymorphisms affecting homocysteine metabolism.

Uses

INDICATION PaxLyte is indicated in the TREATMENT of vitamin deficiency – specifically vitamin B 12 deficiency, and the PREVENTION of vitamin B 12 -cofactor deficiency, l-methylfolate.

Dosage

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The normal dose, is one capsule daily OR as directed by a licensed healthcare practioner; preferably on an empty stomach.

Side Effects

ADVERSE REACTIONS Mild transient diarrhea, polycythemia vera, itching, transitory exanthema, feeling of swelling of entire body may occur with administration of vitamin B 12 . Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of vitamin B 9 .

Warnings

PRECAUTIONS Folic Acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B 12 is deficient. Daily doses of 0.1 mg or more of folic acid (vitamin B 9 ) may obscure pernicious anemia. Hematologic improvement can occur while neurological damage progresses. Exclusive use of folic acid to treat vitamin B 12 -deficient macrocytic anemia can lead to progressive and irreversible neurological damage. Vitamin B 12 deficiency allowed to progress for over 3 months may cause permanent spinal cord lesions. Doses of vitamin B 12 exceeding 10 mcg daily may produce hematologic response in patients with vitamin B 9 deficiency. Indiscriminate administration may mask the true diagnosis.

Storage

HOW SUPPLIED PaxLyte is an oval, brownish orange softgel capsule with imprint 7N3 (NDC 64661-217-30*). * This product is a prescription-folate with or without other dietary ingredients that – due to increased folate levels (AUG 2 1973 FR 20750), requires an Rx on the label because of increased risk associated with masking of B12 deficiency (pernicious anemia).
