INDICATIONS
B-Nexa® Tablets are indicated to provide B-vitamin supplementation, with ginger to help calm pregnancy related nausea and vomiting (morning sickness), and may be used in conjunction with a physician prescribed prenatal regimen.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
PRECAUTIONS
Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations progress.
Concomitant use of ginger in patients with bleeding disorders, or who are on anti-coagulant or anti-platelet therapy, may increase the risk of bleeding.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
One or two tablets daily, in divided doses, or as directed by a physician.
