FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

ZATEAN-PN DHA DESCRIPTION

Zatean™ - Pn DHA is a prescription prenatal/postnatal multivitamin/mineral softgel with an essential fatty acid. Zatean™ - Pn DHA are green, oblong softgels imprinted with "T580."

Inactive Ingredients: Gelatin, Glycerin, Soybean Oil, Purified Water, Yellow Beeswax, Lecithin, Natural Creamy Orange Flavor, Titanium Dioxide, TriPotassium Citrate, Citric Acid, Ethyl Vanillin, FD&C Yellow #5, and FD&C Blue #1

ZATEAN-PN DHA INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Zatean™ - Pn DHA is indicated for the supplemental requirements of patients with nutritional deficiencies or are in need of nutritional supplementation.

ZATEAN-PN DHA CONTRAINDICATIONS

This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients, including fish or fish oil.

WARNING

Daily ingestion of more than 3 grams per day of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA, EPA, and DHA) from fish oils may have potential antithrombotic activities, or effects, and may increase bleeding times. Administration of omega-3 fatty acids - including DHA, should be avoided in patients with inherited or acquired bleeding diatheses, including those taking anticoagulants.

THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS SOY AND FISH OIL.

CAUTION

Exercise caution to ensure that the prescribed dosage of DHA does not exceed 1 gram (1000 mg) per day.

PRECAUTIONS

General

Folates (including folic acid and reduced folates), when administered as a single agent in doses above 0.1 mg daily, may obscure the detection of B₁₂ deficiency(specifically, the administration of folic acid may reverse the hematological manifestations of B₁₂ deficiency, including pernicious anemia, while not addressing the neurological manifestations). Reduced folates may be less likely than folic acid to mask vitamin B₁₂ deficiency. Folate therapy alone is inadequate for the treatment of B₁₂ deficiency.

PATIENT INFORMATION

Zatean™ - Pn DHA is a prescription vitamin for use only under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician.

INTERACTIONS

Pyridoxine hydrochloride should not be given to patients receiving the drug levodopa, because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine hydrochloride. However, pyridoxine hydrochloride may be used concurrently in patients receiving a preparation containing both carbidopa and levodopa.

Drugs which may interact with folate include:

• Antiepileptic drugs (AED): The AED class including, but not limited to, phenytoin, carbamazepine, primidone, valproic acid, phenobarbital and lamotrigine have been shown to impair folate absorption and increase the metabolism of circulating folate. Additionally, concurrent use of folic acid has been associated with enhanced phenytoin metabolism, lowering the levels of this AED in the blood and allowing breakthrough seizures to occur.
• Capecitabine: Folinic acid (5-formyltetrahydrofolate) may increase the toxicity of Capecitabine.
• Cholestyramine: Reduces folic acid absorption and reduces serum folate levels.
• Colestipol: Reduces folic acid absorption and reduces serum folate levels.
• Cycloserine: Reduces folic acid absorption and reduces serum folate levels.
• Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitors (DHFRI): DHFRIs block the conversion of folic acid to its active forms, and lower plasma and red blood cell folate levels. DHFRIs include aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, triamterene, and trimethoprim.
• Fluoxetine: Fluoxetine exerts a noncompetitive inhibition of the 5-methyltetrahydrofolate active transport in the intestine.
• Isotretinoin: Reduced folate levels have occurred in some patients taking isotretinoin.
• Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs have been shown to inhibit some folate dependent enzymes in laboratory experiments. NSAIDs include ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin and sulindac.
• Oral Contraceptives: Serum folate levels may be depressed by oral contraceptive therapy.
• Methylprednisolone: Reduced serum folate levels have been noted after treatment with methylprednisolone.
• Pancreatic Enzymes: Reduced folate levels have occurred in some patients taking pancreatic extracts.
• Pentamidine: Reduced folate levels have been seen with prolonged intravenous pentamidine.
• Smoking and alcohol: Reduced serum folate levels have been noted.
• Sulfasalazine: Inhibits the absorption and metabolism of folic acid.
• Metformin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes decreases serum folate.
• Warfarin can produce significant impairment in folate status after a 6 - month therapy.

ZATEAN-PN DHA ADVERSE REACTIONS

Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid, as well as possibly the use of other forms of folates, including reduced folates. Paresthesia, somnolence, nausea and headaches have been reported with pyridoxine hydrochloride. Mild transient diarrhea, polycythemia vera, itching, transitory exanthema and the feeling of swelling of the entire body have been associated with cyanocobalamin.

ZATEAN-PN DHA DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Before, during, and or after pregnancy, one tablet daily or as prescribed by a physician.
