NataChew Overdose

If you take too much NataChew, it may cause bothersome (but typically not life-threatening) side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, NataChew does contain iron, and taking too much iron can be very dangerous. Symptoms of iron poisoning may include seizures, fluid in the lungs, or black or bloody stools. There are several treatment options for a NataChew overdose, including "pumping the stomach," administering certain medicines, and providing supportive care.

NataChew Prenatal Vitamins

An Introduction to NataChew Overdose

NataChew^® is a prenatal vitamin that is only available with a prescription. The specific effects of a NataChew overdose can vary depending on a number of factors, including the NataChew dosage and whether it was taken with other medications or substances.

Dangerous NataChew Overdose Effects

An overdose on any prenatal vitamin is likely to cause bothersome symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting,

diarrhea, or constipation. Fortunately, these are not usually life-threatening problems. However, NataChew contains iron, and taking too much iron can be very dangerous (especially for young children). Children may be more likely to take NataChew tablets (compared with other prenatal vitamins), because they are chewable and are designed to taste good. Symptoms of iron poisoning may include:

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

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