DESCRIPTION: Prenate Pixie® is a prescription prenatal/postnatal multivitamin/mineral/essential fatty acid softgel. Each softgel is purple in color, opaque, and imprinted with “PIX”.
OTHER INGREDIENTS: Capsule gelatin (gelatin, glycerin, purified water, titanium dioxide, FD&C red #40, caramel, and FD&C blue #1), palm shortening, soy lecithin, and yellow beeswax. Prenate Pixie® contains fish oil and soy.
INDICATIONS: Prenate Pixie® is a multivitamin/multimineral fatty acid dietary supplement indicated for use in improving the nutritional status of women throughout pregnancy and in the postnatal period for both lactating and nonlactating mothers.
WARNING: Ingestion of more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) per day has been shown to have potential antithrombotic effects, including an increased bleeding time and International Normalized Ratio (INR). Administration of omega-3 fatty acids should be avoided in patients taking anticoagulants and in those known to have an inherited or acquired predisposition to bleeding.
PRECAUTIONS: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where Vitamin B12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 1.0 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations progress.
