Across FDA labelling, products containing FOLIC ACID are most often described in connection with: usage multitam, indicated provide, dietary support, women folate, treatment megaloblastic, anemia due, seen tropical, nontropical sprue. Wording differs between labels, and the full indications section on this page takes precedence when it is present.

INDICATIONS and USAGE: Multitam™ is indicated to provide dietary support for men and women. Folate is effective in the treatment of megaloblastic anemia due to folate deficiency (as may be seen in tropical or nontropical sprue) and in anemias of nutritional origin, as well as those associated with pregnancy, infancy, or childhood.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Take one (1) Multitam™ caplet daily, preferably between meals, or as directed by a licensed healthcare practitioner.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

WARNINGS: Folate alone is not appropriate therapy for pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.

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.
