Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Vitafol ® -OB+DHA is indicated to provide vitamin, mineral and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation prior to conception, throughout pregnancy, and during the postnatal period for the lactating and non-lactating mother.* Vitafol ® -OB+DHA does not contain fish, fish oils, fish proteins or fish byproducts.
Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Before, during and after pregnancy, take one caplet and one soft-gel capsule by mouth daily, or as directed by a physician.
Side Effects
ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals, but generally at doses substantially higher than those in Vitafol ® -OB+DHA. Allergic reactions have been reported with some forms of gum acacia to include respiratory problems and skin lesions. Contact your doctor for medical advice about serious adverse events. To report a serious adverse event or obtain product information, contact 1-877-324-9349.
Interactions
Drug Interactions High doses of folic acid may result in decreased serum levels of the anticonvulsant drugs. Vitamin D supplementation should not be given with large amounts of calcium in those with hypercalcemia or conditions that may lead to hypercalcemia such as hyperparathyroidism and those who form calcium-containing kidney stones. Zinc can inhibit the absorption of certain antibiotics; take at least 2 hours apart to minimize interactions. Consult appropriate references for additional specific vitamin-drug interactions.
Warnings
Warning Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or a Poison Control Center immediately. WARNINGS/PRECAUTIONS Vitamin D supplementation should be used with caution in those with hypercalcemia or conditions that may lead to hypercalcemia such as hyperparathryroidism and those who form calcium-containing kidney stones. High doses of vitamin D can lead to elevated levels of calcium that reside in the blood and soft tissues. Bone pain, high blood pressure, formation of kidney stones, renal failure, and increased risk of heart disease can occur. Prolonged use of iron salts may produce iron storage disease. Folic acid, especially in doses above 0.1 mg daily, may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission may occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. CONTRAINDICATIONS Vitafol ® -OB+DHA is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any of its components or color additives. Folic acid is contraindicated in patients with untreated and uncomplicated pernicious anemia, and in those with anaphylactic sensitivity to folic acid.
Storage
Store at room temperature, approximately 15°-30°C (59°-86°F), avoid excessive heat and moisture.
