- Do not take this product if you are currently taking mineral oil, unless directed by a doctor. Warnings Administration of omega-3 fatty acids should be avoided in patients taking anticoagulants and in those known to have an inherited or acquired predisposition to bleeding.
- Precautions Folic acid alone is an improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
- The patient's medical conditions and consumption of other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements should be considered. Drug Interactions Taron-Prex Prenatal with DHA capsules is not recommended for and should not be given to patients receiving levodopa because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine. There is a possibility of increased bleeding due to pyridoxine interaction with anticoagulants (e.g., Aspirin, Heparin, Clopidogrel).
- Adverse Reactions Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
- Storage
- Storage Store at 20 degrees - 25 degrees C (68 degrees - 77 degrees F), excursions permitted to 15 degrees - 30 degrees C (59 degrees - 86 degrees F) [See USP controlled room temperature].
