  • CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Vitafol ®-OB 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.

    Iron therapy is contraindicated in patients with hemochromatosis and patients with iron storage disease or the potential for iron storage disease due to chronic hemolytic anemia (e.g., inherited anomalies of hemoglobin structure or synthesis and/or red cell enzyme deficiencies, etc.), pyridoxine responsive anemia, or cirrhosis of the liver.

    Cyanocobalamin is contraindicated in patients with sensitivity to cobalt or to cyanocobalamin (vitamin B-12).

  • BOXED WARNING (What is this?)

    WARNING

    Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of the 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 hyperparathyroidism 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.

    The use of folic acid doses above 1 mg daily may precipitate or exacerbate the neurological damage of vitamin B12 deficiency.

    Avoid Overdosage. Keep out of the reach of children.

  • PRECAUTIONS

    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.

    Information for Patients

    Patients should be counseled to disclose all medical conditions, including use of all medications, vitamins and supplements, pregnancy, and breast-feeding.

    Pediatric Use

    Not for pediatric use.

  • ADVERSE REACTIONS

    Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals, but generally at doses substantially higher than those in Vitafol ®-OB. Allergic reactions have been reported with some forms of gum acacia to include respiratory problems and skin lesions.

  • DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
