  • CONTRAINDICATIONS:

    This product is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to
    any of its ingredients; also, all iron compounds are contraindicated in patients with
    hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, or hemolytic anemias. Pernicious anemia is a
    contraindication, as folic acid may obscure its signs and symptoms.

  • 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 poison control center immediately.
    Administration of folic acid alone is improper therapy for pernicious anemia and other
    megaloblastic anemias in which vitamin B12 is deficient.

    Precaustion Section

    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 a 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 B12 may prevent, halt, or improve the neurologic changes caused by pernicious
    anemia.
    The patient’s medical conditions and consumption of other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements
    should be considered.

    For use on the order of a 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.

    Drug Interactions:

    Vitrexyl + iron is not recommended for and should not be given to patients receiving levodopa
    because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine. There is a possibility of increased
    bleeding due to pyridoxine interaction with anticoagulants (e.g., Aspirin, Heparin or Clopidogrel).

    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 Vitrexyl + Iron after meals
    may control occasional gastrointestinal disturbances. Vitrexyl + Iron 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.

  • OVERDOSE:

    Iron: Signs and Symptoms: Iron is toxic. Acute overdosage of iron may cause nausea and
    vomiting and, in severe cases, cardiovascular collapse and death. Other symptoms include
    pallor and cyanosis,melena, shock, drowsiness and coma. The estimated overdose of orally
    ingested iron is 300 mg/kg body weight. When overdoses are ingested by children, severe
    reactions, including fatalities, have resulted. VitrexylTM + Iron should be stored beyond the
    reach of children to prevent against accidental iron poisoning. Keep this and all other drugs
    out of reach of children.
