INDICATIONS: DuetDHAec is a prescription regimen of prenatal multi-vitamin, multi-mineral, and
omega-3 fatty acid supplements indicated for use in improving the nutritional status of women
throughout pregnancy and in the post-natal period for both lactating and non-lactating mothers.
DuetDHAec is also useful in improving nutritional status prior to conception.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: This product is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any
of the ingredients including fish or fish oil.
WARNINGS: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other
megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B12 is deficient.
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 a poison control center immediately.
Since daily ingestion of more than 3 grams per day of omega-3 fatty acids (including alpha-linolenic
acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) from fish oils may have
potential antithrombotic activities and may increase bleeding times, administration of DHA should be
avoided in patients with inherited or acquired bleeding diatheses, including those taking anticoagulants.
PRECAUTIONS: Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia
(hematologic remission may occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive).
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Pyridoxine supplements should be avoided in patients receiving levodopa
alone, as the actions of levodopa may be antagonized.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral
administration of folic acid.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Before, during and after pregnancy, one tablet and one entericcoated
softgel capsule taken by mouth daily, or as directed by a physician. The tablet and enteric-coated
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.
