Indications & Usage

Indications and Usage: Ventrixyl™ is indicated to provide vitamin supplements to men and women. Folic acid is effective in the treatment of megaloblastic anemias due to a deficiency of folic acid (as may be seen in tropical or nontropical sprue) and in anemias of nutritional origin, pregnancy, infancy, or childhood.

Dosage & Administration

Dosage and Administration: One (1) Ventrixy™ caplet daily, between meals or as directed by a physician. Do not administer to children under the age of 12.

Warnings

WARNING: Administration of folic acid alone is improper therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias in which vitamin B 12 is deficient.

Contraindications

Contraindications: This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

Drug Interactions

Drug Interactions: Ventrixyl™ 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: Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid. 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.
