If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a physician or other health care professional before use.
STORAGE: Store below 77°F (25°C). Protect from light to avoid tablet color changes.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Contraindicated in patients with pernicious anemia and in the rare instance of hypersensitivity to folic acid. Hemochromatosis and hemosiderosis are contraindications to iron therapy.
WARNING: Folic Acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B-12 is deficient.
Since oral iron products interfere with the absorption of oral tetracycline antibiotics, these products should not be taken within two hours of each other. Iron-containing supplements may occasionally cause bowel effects such as constipation.
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 poison control center immediately.
PRECAUTIONS:
General: Do not exceed recommended dose.
Folic Acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
