warning: Warnings: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B12 is deficient.
warning: Do not exceed recommended dosage.
Precautions: Folic acid when administered as a single agent in doses above 0.1 mg daily, may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. The 1 mg of cyanocobalamin contained in Folbee Plus Tablets has been shown to provide an adequate amount of cyanocobalamin to address this precaution. A safe upper limit of 100 mg per day has been established for the unsupervised medical use of pyridoxine. Consider all sources of pyridoxine supplementation when prescribing Folbee Plus Tablets.

Concurrent use of phenytoin and folacin (folic acid) may result in decreased phenytoin effectiveness.
