Revised : May 2013 Side Effects & Drug Interactions SIDE EFFECTS Folic Acid Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid. Ferrous Fumarate Gastrointestinal disturbances (anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, constipation) occur occasionally, but are usually mild and may subside with continuation of therapy. Although the absorption of iron is best when taken between meals, giving Folivane™-OB after meals may control occasional G.I. disturbances. Folivane™-OB is best absorbed when taken at bedtime. DRUG INTERACTIONS No Information provided Warnings & Precautions WARNINGS Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B is deficient. PRECAUTIONS General Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg - 0.4 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of this product have not been established in pediatric patients. Geriatric Use No clinical studies have been performed in patients age 65 and older to determine whether older persons respond differently from younger persons. Dosage should always begin at the low end of the dosage scale and should consider that elderly persons may have decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and/or concomitant diseases. Overdosage & Contraindications OVERDOSE Iron Signs And Symptoms Iron is toxic. Acute overdosage of iron may cause nausea and vomiting and, in severe cases, cardiovascular collapse and death. Other symptoms include pallor and cyanosis, melena, shock, drowsiness and coma. The estimated overdose of orally ingested iron is 300-mg/kg body weight. When overdoses are ingested by children, severe reactions, including fatalities, have resulted. Folivane™- OB should be stored beyond the reach of children to prevent against accidental iron poisoning. Treatment For specific therapy, exchange transfusion and chelating agents should be used. For general management, perform gastric lavage with sodium bicarbonate solution or milk. Administer intravenous fluids and electrolytes and use oxygen. CONTRAINDICATIONS Folivane™-OB is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients; also, all iron compounds are contraindicated in patients with hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, or hemolytic anemia. Pernicious anemia is a contraindication, as folic acid may obscure its signs and symptoms.

In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. Clinical Pharmacology CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY No information provided.
