PreCare: What Should I Tell My Healthcare Provider?
You should talk with your healthcare provider prior to taking
PreCare Premium™ or PreCare
® Chewables if you have:
- Anemia
- Any allergies, including allergies to food, dyes, or preservatives.
Also, make sure to tell your healthcare provider about any other medicines you are taking, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Specific Precautions and Warnings for PreCare
Some warnings and precautions to be aware of prior to taking PreCare include the following:
- PreCare products contain folic acid, which can mask certain types of anemia. This means that if you take enough folic acid, certain types of anemia may not show up on blood tests. However, this does not apply to all types of anemia. If you have anemia, check with your healthcare provider before taking PreCare.
- PreCare can potentially interact with a few other medications (see PreCare Drug Interactions).
- PreCare products are usually considered safe for women who are breastfeeding (see PreCare and Breastfeeding).
Who Should Not Take PreCare?
You should not take PreCare if you are allergic to PreCare or any of the active or inactive components used to make the supplement.
Your healthcare provider or pharmacist has a list of the inactive ingredients.
