PreCare® Prenatal caplets are indicated to provide vitamin and mineral supplementation throughout pregnancy and during the postnatal period--for both lactating and non-lactating mothers. It is also useful for improving nutritional status prior to conception.
This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B 12 is deficient.
Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients has not been established.
Clinical studies on this product have not been performed to determine whether elderly subjects respond differently from younger subjects. In general, dose selection for elderly patients should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
Usual dosage is one caplet daily, or as prescribed by a physician.
