Carenatal DHA Overdose

The symptoms of a Carenatal DHA overdose may be bothersome, but are typically not dangerous. If you take too much Carenatal DHA, you may experience constipation, nausea, or diarrhea. However, because Carenatal DHA contains iron, you may have iron poisoning (which can be very dangerous). Treatment for a Carenatal DHA overdose may include administering certain medications, pumping the stomach, or providing supportive care.

Carenatal DHA Prenatal Vitamins

An Introduction to Carenatal DHA Overdose

Carenatal™ DHA is a prenatal vitamin that can only be obtained with a prescription from your healthcare provider. As is the case with any multivitamin, it is possible to take too much Carenatal DHA. The specific effects of a Carenatal DHA overdose can vary depending on several factors, including the Carenatal DHA dosage and whether it was taken with any other substances or medicines.

Dangerous Carenatal DHA Overdose Effects

An overdose with Carenatal DHA is likely to cause bothersome (but not dangerous) symptoms, such as

diarrhea (or constipation), nausea, and vomiting. However, Carenatal DHA products contain iron, and taking too much iron can be very dangerous (especially for young children). Symptoms of iron poisoning may include:

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Low blood pressure (hypotension)
A rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
Fluid in the lungs
Fever and chills
Blue lips and fingernails
Pale skin
Dehydration
Flushing
Diarrhea
Black or bloody stools
Nausea and vomiting
Metallic taste in the mouth
Drowsiness
Dizziness
Headaches
Seizures
Coma
Loss of life.

Because children cannot handle much iron, Carenatal DHA prenatal vitamins should be stored out of the reach of children.
