Product Information

📋 Directions for Use

Directions: Before, during and after pregnancy, one tablet and one enteric-coated softgel capsule taken by mouth daily, or as directed by a physician.

⚠️ Warnings & Precautions

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.

Warnings: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient. Precautions: Folic acid especially in doses above 1.0 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia (hematologic remission may occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive).

Keep out of reach of children

🧪 Formulation Notes

Use: To provide vitamin and mineral supplementation throughout pregnancy and during the postnatal period for both the lactating and non lactating mother.
