INDICATIONS
BACMIN is indicated for prophylactic or therapeutic nutritional supplementation in physiologically stressful conditions. These include:
Conditions causing depletion, reduced absorption or bioavailability of essential vitamins and minerals-
- Inadequate intake due to highly restricted or unbalanced diets such as those frequently associated with anorexic conditions and other states of severe malnutrition.
- Gastrointestinal disorders, chronic alcoholism, chronic or acute infections (especially those involving febrile illness), prolonged or wasting disease, congestive heart failure, hyperthyroidism, poorly controlled diabetes or other physiologic stress.
- Also, patients on estrogenic oral contraceptives or other estrogen therapy, anti-bacterials which affect intestinal microflora, or other interfering drugs.
Certain conditions resulting from severe B-Vitamin or ascorbic acid deficiency-
- Recovery from surgery or trauma involving severe burns, fractures or other extensive tissue damage.
- Also, pregnant women and those with heavy menstrual bleeding.
WARNINGS
Not intended for treatment of pernicious anemia or other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient. Neurological involvement may develop or progress, despite temporary remission of anemia, in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency who receive supplemental folic acid and who are inadequately treated with B12.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals, but generally at levels substantially higher than those in BACMIN. 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.
