ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.

Adverse Reactions:. Folic Acid: Allergic sensitizations have been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.Ferrous Fumarate: Gastrointestinal disturbances (anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, constipation) occur occasionally, but are usually mild and may subside with continuation of therapy. Although the absorption of iron is best when taken between meals, giving after meals may control occasional gastrointestinal disturbances. It is best absorbed when taken at bedtime. Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals but generally at levels substantially higher than those contained herein. However, allergic and idiosyncratic reactions are possible at lower levels. Iron, even at the usual recommended levels, has been associated with gastrointestinal intolerance in some patients.

BOXED WARNING SECTION.

WARNING. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call doctor or poison control center immediately.Administration of folic acid alone is improper therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias in which vitamin 12 is deficient. Precautions. Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.There is potential danger in administering folic acid to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since folic acid may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviating the hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress. This may result in severe nervous system damage before the correct diagnosis is made. Adequate doses of vitamin 12 may prevent, halt, or improve the neurologic changes caused by pernicious anemia. The patients medical conditions and consumption of other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements should be considered.For use on the order of healthcare practitioner.Call your doctor about side effects. To report side effects, call PureTek Corporation at 1-877-921-7873 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
