Indications & Usage
INDICATIONS: Multitam™ is indicated to provide dietary support to men and women.

Folate is effective in the treatment of megaloblastic anemias due to a deficiency of folate (as may be seen in tropical or nontropical sprue) and in anemias of nutritional origin, pregnancy, infancy, or childhood.
Warnings
WARNING: Administration of folate alone is improper therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias in which vitamin B 12 is deficient.
Adverse Reactions
Adverse Reactions: Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folate.

Adverse reactions have been reported with specific vitamins and minerals but generally at levels substantially higher than those contained herein.

However, allergic and idiosyncratic reactions are possible at lower levels.

Iron, even at the usual recommended levels, has been associated with gastrointestinal intolerance in some patients.
