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.
Contraindications: Provida OB is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients; also, all iron compounds are contraindicated in patients with hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, or hemolytic anemias. It is also contraindicated in patients suffering from pernicious anemia as folic acid may obscure its signs and symptoms.
Warning: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B12 is deficient.
Precautions: Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg-0.4 mg daily may obscure the signs and symptoms of pernicious anemia, in that hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. The use of this product by immunocompromised patients or treatment of any disorder must be medically supervised by a physician.
