KEEP THIS OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

CONTRAINDICTIONS

WesNate DHA should not be used by patients with known history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. KEEP THIS PRODUCT OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

CAUTIONS

High levels of folic acid may, especially in older adults, hide signs of Vitamin B-12 deficiency (such as pernicious anemia, a condition that can cause nerve damage).

Concurrent use of folic acid has been associated with enhanced phenytoin metabolism, lowering the level of the AED in the blood and allowing breakthrough seizures to occur. Caution should be used when prescribing this product among patients who are receiving treatment with phenytoin or other anticonvulsants.

Exercise caution with the concomitant use of folinic acid and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for the acute treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in patients with HIV infection as it is associated with increased rates of treatment failure and mortality in a placebo controlled study.

The action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine.

Products containing iron should not be used during dimercaprol therapy. Dimercaprol can bind to iron and cause kidney damage.

Avoid administering omega-3 fatty acids to patients with inherited or acquired predisposition toward bleeding, including patients taking anticoagulants. Exercise caution with these patients to ensure that the prescribed dosage of DHA does not exceed 1 gram (1000 mg) per day.

Side Effects

Allergic reactions have been reported following oral administration of folic acid.

Iron can cause mild gastrointestinal side effects, particularly when taken on an empty stomach.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Folic Acid

Concurrent use of folic acid has been associated with enhanced phenytoin metabolism, lowering the level of the AED in the blood and allowing breakthrough seizures to occur.

Folinic acid may enhance the toxicity of fluorouracil.

High levels of folic acid may result in decreased serum levels of pyrimethamine.

Concurrent administration of chloramphenicol and folinic acid in folate-deficient patients may result in antagonism of the hematopoietic response to folate.

Antiepileptic drugs (including, but not limited to, phenytoin, carbamazepine, primidone, valproic acid, fosphenytoin, valproate, phenobarbital and lamotrigine) have been shown to impair folate absorption and increase the metabolism of circulating folate.

Fluoxetine

Fluoxetine exerts a noncompetitive inhibition of the 5-methyltetrahydrofolate active transport system in the intestine.

Decreased folic acid levels have been reported to be associated with the administration of Cholestyramine, Colestipol, Cycloserine, Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitors (aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, triamterene, and trimethoprim), L-dopa, colchicine, oral contraceptives, methylprednisolone, pancreatic extracts (pancreatin, pancrelipase), prolonged intravenous pentamidine, smoking and alcohol consumption, sulfasalazine, metformin, heme iron, isotretinoin, and after a 6-month course of therapy, warfarin can produce a significant impairment of folate status.

Thiamin (Vitamin B1)

Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can decrease thiamin levels.

There have been case reports that fluorouracil may increase thiamin metabolism.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 should not be given to patients receiving the drug levodopa because the action of levodopa is antagonized by Vitamin B6. However, Vitamin B6 may be used concurrently in patients receiving a preparation containing both carbidopa and levodopa.

Isoniazid can produce a Vitamin B6 deficiency.

Vitamin B12

Antibiotics, cholestyramine, colchicine, colestipol, metformin, para-aminosalicylic acid, and potassium chloride may decrease the absorption of vitamin B12 , and nitrous oxide can produce a functional vitamin B12 deficiency.

Vitamin D3

Some thiazide diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide, as well as antacids, bile acid sequestrants (such as cholestyramine), mineral oil, orlistat, olestra, cimetidine, and anticonvulsant medications may reduce the absorption or increase the catabolism of Vitamin D.

Vitamin D supplementation should not be given with calcium to patients with hypercalcemia or conditions that may lead to hypercalcemia such as hyperparathyroidism or those who form calcium-containing kidney stones.

Iron

Iron supplements might reduce the amounts of levodopa available to the body and diminish its clinical effectiveness.

Levothyroxine ingested simultaneously with iron can result in clinically significant reductions in levothyroxine efficacy.

Proton pump inhibitors reduce the acidity of stomach contents and can reduce iron absorption.

Zinc

Zinc may decrease absorption of quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics.

Cupric oxide

Concomitant use of penicillamine and copper can cause decreased absorption of both substances.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Ingestion of more than 3 grams per day of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA, EPA, and DHA) may have potential antithrombotic effects, and may increase bleeding times.

Avoid administering omega-3 fatty acids to patients with inherited or acquired predisposition toward bleeding, including patients taking anticoagulants. Exercise caution with these patients to ensure that the prescribed dosage of DHA does not exceed 1 gram (1000 mg) per day.

PREGNANT AND NURSING MOTHERS
