What it is used for

Who should not take it (contraindications)
Metavex™ is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Warnings
Metavex™ should be administered under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner. Patients should not exceed the recommended dosage. If adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Precautions
Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Folic acid administered alone may be inappropriate for the treatment of pernicious anemia or other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 deficiency is present. Doses of folic acid greater than 0.1 mg daily may mask hematologic signs of pernicious anemia while neurological manifestations continue to progress. Patients with underlying medical conditions or those taking other medications should consult their healthcare provider prior to use.
