Vitaphil and DHA

VitaPhil + DHA and VitaPhil + DHA 90 are indicated to provide vitamin/mineral and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation to women throughout pregnancy, during the postnatal period for both lactating and non-lactating mothers and throughout the child bearing years. VitaPhil + DHA and VitaPhil + DHA 90 are also useful in improving the nutritional status prior to conception.

Before, during and after pregnancy, one caplet and one softgel capsule taken by mouth daily, or as prescribed by a physician. The caplet and softgel capsule may be taken together or at different times of the day. Caution should be exercised to ensure that the prescribed dose of DHA does not exceed 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day.

VitaPhil + DHA and VitaPhil + DHA 90 are 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. These products are contraindicated for persons with pernicious anemia, as folic acid may obscure its signs and symptoms.

Iron: Gastrointestinal disturbances (anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, constipation) can occur but are usually mild and can subside with continuation of therapy. Although the absorption of iron is best when taken between meals, VitaPhil + DHA and VitaPhil + DHA 90 when taken after meals, may control occasional G.I. disturbances. VitaPhil + DHA and VitaPhil + DHA 90 are best absorbed when taken at bedtime.
Folic Acid: Allergic sensitizations have been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
