other: Indications: Concept DHA is a prenatal supplement designed to improve the nutritional status of women throughout pregnancy and during the postnatal period to lactating and non-lactating mothers. Concept DHA may also be used to improve the nutritional status of women before conception.
warning: Contraindications: Concept DHA 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.
other: Ferrous Fumarate and Polysaccharide Iron Compex (PIC): All Concept products include a unique patented source of iron, e.g. Ferrous Fumarate and Polysaccharide Iron Complex (U.S. Patent No: 11/243,043 pending).
claim: "An increase in tolerability is observed with the formulation and is believed to occur as the result of distributing the total iron content in the composition among compounds that provide iron to the patient's blood stream via two different mechanisms. The ferrous salts are readily absorbed in the upper gut, by direct dissolution and absorption of the ferrous iron by the bloodstream. However, the iron available from PIC is absorbed in the lower gut, via an active protein transport mechanism"
claim: Clinical Studies: Picinni, L.-Ricciotti, M. 1982. Therapeutic effectiveness of an iron-polysaccharide complex in comparison with iron fumarate in the treatment of iron deficiency anemias. PANMINERVA MEDICA-EUROPA MEDICA, Vol. 24, No. 3, pp.213-220 (July-September 1982).
other: Folic Acid: Folic Acid is one of the most important hematopoietic agents necessary for proper regeneration of the blood-forming elements and their function. Additionally, folic acid increases jejunal glycolytic enzymes and is involved in the desaturation and hydroxylation of long-chain fatty acids in the brain. A deficiency in folic acid results in megaloblastic anemia.
warning: 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 the hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.
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.
warning: When overdoses are ingested by children, severe reactions, including fatalities, have resulted.
other: Dosage and Administration: Adults (persons over 12 years of age), one (1) capsule daily, between meals, or as prescribed by a physician. Do not exceed recommended dosage.
