CONTRAINDICATIONS:

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 accidentaloverdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
Administration of folate alone is improper therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias in which vitamin B12 is deficient.
CAUTION: Should be chewed.
PRECAUTIONS:
Folate 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 folate to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since folate may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviatingthe hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress. This may result in severe nervous system damage before thecorrect 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.
Use only under the direction of a licensed 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.
