Full Prescribing Information:
Drug Description:
Menatrol™ Capsules are a comprehensive dietary supplement tailored for individuals undergoing menopause. This specialized formulation offers a blend of vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts aiming to alleviate common menopausal symptoms:

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Contained in a dose of 15 mcg (600 IU), Vitamin D3 plays a pivotal role in maintaining bone health and may also help mitigate mood disturbances. It is recommended to seek a supplement offering 600-800 IU of Vitamin D3 daily, although personal dosing should be discussed with a licensed healthcare practitioner.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride): At a dosage of 1.5 mg, Vitamin B6 is integral for mood stabilization and promoting energy. Typically, adults are advised to consume 1.3-2.0 mg per day. Always refer to the supplement label for specific dosages.
Folate (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt): Provided in a measure of 1700 mcg DFE (with 1000 mcg as L-5-Methylfolate), folate is pivotal for holistic health, potentially aiding in mood enhancement and energy regulation. An average adult dosage is between 400-800 mcg daily.
Calcium (Calcium Carbonate): At a concentration of 220 mg, calcium is a key mineral that fortifies bones, particularly crucial during menopause due to heightened osteoporosis risks. Women over 50 typically require around 1000-1300 mg of calcium daily, although intake should be calibrated based on diet.
Magnesium (Magnesium Oxide): Present in an amount of 100 mg, magnesium offers relief from muscle cramps, mood fluctuations, and sleep disturbances. On average, adults are recommended to consume 300-400 mg per day, though individual requirements can differ.
Rhapontic Rhubarb: Rhapontic rhubarb (Rheum rhaponticum) is a natural ingredient that some women use to address menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and mood swings. The appropriate dosage for this specific ingredient may vary, so consult the product label or a licensed healthcare practitioner for guidance.

BOXED WARNING

(What is this?)

Warnings:

Tell your doctor if you have: kidney problems, thyroid disease. This medication should be used as directed during pregnancy or while breast-feeding. Consult your doctor. 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 folate 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. The patient’s medical conditions and consumption of other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements should be considered.

Adverse Reactions:

Possible side effects may include gastrointestinal upset. If any side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Drug Interactions:

Consult with a licensed healthcare practitioner before use if taking prescription medications, especially those affecting bone health or hormonal therapies.

Pregnancy and Lactation:

Not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation without consulting with a licensed healthcare practitioner.

Overdosage:

In case of overdose, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Clinical Pharmacology:

The ingredients in this formulation work synergistically to potentially alleviate various menopausal symptoms by supporting bone health, mood regulation, and overall wellness.

Nonclinical Toxicology:

There are no known toxicities associated with the recommended doses of the ingredients in this supplement.

Clinical Studies:

Several ingredients in this supplement have been clinically studied for their effectiveness in managing menopausal symptoms, including bone health, mood disturbances, and overall well-being.
