WARNINGS 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, BACMIN 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 BACMIN. 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.
