Multi-Nate DHA Dosage and Administration

Before, during and after pregnancy, adult women (over 12 years of age), take one (1) tablet and one (1) softgel capsule by mouth daily, between meals or as prescribed by a physician. Tablet and softgel capsule may be taken separately. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Do not administer to children under 12 years of age or persons age 65 or older. Do not exceed one gram (1,000 mg) of DHA per day.

Contraindications

Multi-Nate 30 DHA 275/400 mg is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients, including fish oil and soy. Iron is contraindicated in patients with hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, or hemolytic anemias. This product is contraindicated for persons with pernicious anemia, as folic acid may obscure its signs and symptoms.

WARNING: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia in that hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.

Warning

Ingestion of omega-3 fatty acids (including alpha-linolenic acid [ALA], eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA] from fish oils) of more than 3 grams per day may present antithrombotic effects, including increased bleeding time. Omega-3 fatty acids including DHA and EPA should be avoided in patients with inherited or acquired bleeding diatheses. Patients taking anticoagulant drug products should consult with their physician prior to ingesting omega-3 fatty acids.

Precautions

Folic acid in dosages above 400 mcg daily may obscure megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia in that hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations (Addisionian anemia) remain progressive.
