PRECAUTIONS

General

Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where B12 is deficient. Anemia requires appropriate investigation to determine its cause or causes. Periodic clinical and laboratory studies are considered essential. Blood tests including hemoglobin and hematocrit should be done to determine the adequacy of therapy. Folic acid should be used with care in the presence of peptic ulcer disease, regional enteritis, and ulcerative colitis. In doses above 0.1 mg daily, folic acid may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia.

USAGE IN PREGNANCY

Before Iron Folate-F is prescribed for megaloblastic anemia in pregnancy, appropriate diagnostic exclusion of Addisonian pernicious anemia (due to faulty or blocked absorption of vitamin B12, or extrinsic factor or either a genetic, immunological or surgical basis) should be carried out.

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of this product have not been established in pediatric patients.

Geriatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of this product have not been established in elderly patients.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Folic Acid

Allergic sensitizations have been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.

Ferrous Fumarate

Gastrointestinal disturbances (anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, and vomiting) occur occasionally, but are usually mild and may subside with continuation of therapy. Reducing the dose and administering it with meals will minimize these effects in the sensitive patient. Iron may turn stools black. This is a harmless effect that is a result of unabsorbed iron. Although the absorption of iron is best when taken between meals, giving Iron Folate-F after meals may diminish occasional G.I. disturbances. Iron Folate-F is best absorbed when taken at bedtime.

OVERDOSAGE

Acute overdosage of iron may cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and, in severe cases, cardiovascular collapse and death. Other more chronic symptoms include pallor and cyanosis, melena, shock, drowsiness, and coma. The estimated overdose of orally ingested iron is 300 mg/kg body weight. Toxic effects are seen at 10-20 mg/kg elemental iron. When overdoses are ingested by children, severe reactions, including fatalities, have resulted. Iron Folate-F should be stored beyond the reach of children to prevent against accidental iron poisoning.
