DESCRIPTION
DEXIFOL is a prescription multi-vitamin in the form of a dark yellow, film-coated, caplet.
INDICATION AND USAGE
DEXIFOL is a prescription multi-vitamin supplement that can be taken to improve nutritional status in conditions requiring dietary supplementation. DEXIFOL can also be used for the dietary management of individuals with distinct nutritional needs under a physician or healthcare provider's supervision for end stage failure, dialysis, hyperhomocysteinemia or inadequate dietary vitamin intake.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
WARNING
Folic Acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. Folic Acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient.
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSAGE.
KEEP THIS AND ALL MEDICATIONS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
PRECAUTIONS
Folic Acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. The 1 mg of cyanocobalamin contained in DEXIFOL Caplets has been shown to provide an adequate amount of cyanocobalamin to address this precaution. A safer upper limit of 100 mg per day has been established for the unsupervised medical use of pyridoxine. Consider all sources of pyridoxine supplementation when prescribing DEXIFOL Caplets.
If pregnant, or planning to become pregnant or are currently breast-feeding please contact your physician, or healthcare provider before using or continuing use of this medication.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid. Paresthesia and somnolence have been reported with the use of pyridoxine hydrochloride. Mild transient diarrhea, polycynthemia vera, peripheral vascular thrombosis, itching transitory exanthema and feeling of swelling of the entire body has been associated with the use of cyanocobalamin.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Pyridoxine supplements should not be given to patients receiving the drug levodopa, because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine. However, pyridoxine may be used concurrently in patients receiving a preparation containing both carbidopa and levodopa. Concurrent use of phenytoin and folacin (folic acid) may result in decreased phenytoin effectiveness.
