WARNING:
Ingestion of more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids per day has
been shown to have potential antithrombotic effects, including an
increased bleeding time and INR. Administration of omega-3 fatty acids
should be avoided in patients on anticoagulants and in those known
to have an inherited or acquired bleeding diathesis.
WARNING:
Folic acid
alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and
other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B
12 is deficient.
PRECAUTIONS
Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations progress.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
