Indications And Clinical Uses: A multivitamin-mineral product for use as a dietary supplement during pregnancy, lactation and postpartum.
Contra-Indications: Iron therapy is contraindicated in the presence of hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, hemolytic anemia.
Precautions: Folic acid may obscure pernicious anemia in that the peripheral blood picture may revert to normal while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
Oral iron preparations may aggravate existing peptic ulcer, regional enteritis and ulcerative colitis.
Iron compounds taken orally can impair the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. Antacids given concomitantly with iron compounds decrease iron absorption.
