An Introduction to Carenatal DHA Side Effects
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Carenatal™
DHA. However, not everyone who takes the vitamins will experience side effects. In fact, most women tolerate them quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Carenatal DHA. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Carenatal DHA side effects with you.)
Possible Side Effects of Carenatal DHA
Prenatal vitamins do not have to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and they are usually not studied as thoroughly as other types of medications. Therefore, detailed information about the possible side effects of prenatal vitamins is not available. However, based on the side effects of the individual components of Carenatal DHA, the following side effects are possible:
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Heartburn or indigestion
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
- Gas or belching
- Intestinal cramps
- Muscle aches and pains
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Headaches
- Yellow-orange discoloration of the urine
- Insomnia
- Fatigue.
As you can see, several of the possible Carenatal DHA side effects are also common aches, pains, and annoyances that occur during pregnancy. Therefore, it can be difficult to tell if a particular side effect is caused by Carenatal DHA or if it is just a
pregnancy symptom.
