Indications & Usage

Indications and Usage: Prenatol-M™ Indications and Usage: Prenatol-M™ is indicated to provide vitamins and minerals to women throughout pregnancy and during the postnatal period for both lactating and non-lactating mothers, and throughout the childbearing years. Prenatol-M™ may be beneficial in improving the nutritional status of women prior to conception.

Dosage & Administration

Dosage and Administration: Prenatol-M™ caplet daily, between meals or as directed by a licensed healthcare practitioner. Do not administer to children under the age of 12.

Warnings

Warnings: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. Administration of folate alone is improper therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias in which vitamin B12 is deficient. Precautions: Folate in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. There is a potential danger in administering folate to patients with undiagnosed anemia since folic acid may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviating the hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress. This may result in severe nervous system damage before the correct diagnosis is made. Adequate doses of vitamin B12 may prevent, halt, or improve the neurologic changes caused by pernicious anemia. The patient’s medical conditions and consumption of other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements should be considered. For use on the order of a licensed healthcare practitioner. Call your doctor about side effects. To repor

Contraindications

Contraindications: This product is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients; also, all iron compounds are contraindicated in patients with hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, or hemolytic anemias. Pernicious anemia is a contraindication, as folate may obscure its signs and symptoms.

Drug Interactions

Drug Interactions: Prenatol-M™ is not recommended for and should not be given to patients receiving levodopa because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine. There is a possibility of increased bleeding due to pyridoxine interaction with anticoagulants (e.g., Aspirin, Heparin, or Clopidogrel).

Adverse Reactions

Adverse Reactions: Folate: Allergic sensitizations have been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folate. Ferrous Fumarate: Gastrointestinal disturbances (anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, constipation) occur occasionally but are usually mild and may subside with continuation of therapy. Although the absorption of iron is best when taken between meals, giving Prenatol-M™ after meals may control occasional gastrointestinal disturbances. Prenatol-M™ is best absorbed when taken at bedtime. Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals but generally at levels substantially higher than those contained herein. 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.
