PregVit Prenatal Postpartum (Multivitamin)

Additional information

PregVit Prenatal Postpartum (Multivitamin) is typically given as 1 pink tablet in the morning and 1 blue/dark blue tablet at least 4 hours afterward or in the evening. However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. The pink tablets and the blue tablets must be taken separately to prevent the ingredients in one tablet from interacting with the other. The pink tablets should be taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Wait at least one hour before eating, to allow time for the iron to be absorbed. The blue tablet should be taken within an hour of the evening meal. Swallow the medication whole, with a glass of water. Do not crush or split the tablets. Important: Follow the instructions on the label. Do not use more of this product, or more often than prescribed. If you miss a dose, contact your pharmacist. WARNING: Many medications are affected by the calcium and iron in these multiple vitamins. Check with your pharmacist for specific instructions about separating your regular medications and this multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. People who have seizure disorder and are taking antiseizure medications (e.g., carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, valproic acid) may have an increase in seizures when taking folic acid (one of the vitamins in PregVit Prenatal Postpartum (Multivitamin)). High doses of folic acid may hide symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency.
