General Information on Dosing With Prenate DHA

Some considerations for people taking Prenate DHA include the following:
 
 
  • Prenate DHA comes in the form of a softgel capsule. It is taken once a day.
     
  • Prenate DHA products can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. The iron in these products may be better absorbed on an empty stomach, but most women find that taking prenatal vitamins with a little food usually helps with stomach upset.
     
  • It does not matter what time of day you take Prenate DHA, but try to take it at the same time each day.
     
  • For the vitamins to work properly, they must be taken as prescribed. Prenate DHA will not work if you stop taking it.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or Prenate DHA dosing in general, please talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
