PrimaCare Warnings and Precautions

Talk to your healthcare provider about PrimaCare warnings and precautions before taking it. Tell your healthcare provider if you have anemia, a fish allergy, or any other allergies. Since folic acid is in both forms of PrimaCare, warnings and precautions also include being aware that the supplement can mask anemia; therefore, certain types of anemia may not show up on blood tests if you are using PrimaCare.
