WARNINGS Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B 12 is deficient. Not intended for treatment of pernicious anemia or other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B 12 is deficient. Neurological involvement may develop or progress, despite temporary remission of anemia, in patients with vitamin B 12 deficiency who receive supplemental folic acid and who are inadequately treated with B 12 . Drug and Treatment Interactions As little as 5 mg pyridoxine daily can decrease the efficiency of levodopa in the treatment of parkinsonism. Therefore, Megavite Rx™ is not recommended for patients undergoing such therapy.
ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals, but generally at levels substantially higher than those in Megavite Rx™. 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.
